Colgan is doing 2100 flight for Airways this month, compared to 2250 for United and 5500 for CAL (Saab and Q). US Airways does not seem too involved at all at what Colgan does, they seem to care less about clean planes of MX cancels or anything.
Ok, I am sorry if this seems dumb, I am just trying to get a grip on this. If the rumor regarding CAL dropping Colgan was true...Airways and United only make up 4,350 of the 9,850 flights for Colgan in a given month. So that is 55.8% of their monthly flights gone. If that were true, I assume in the very near future we would see 55.8% of Colgan's pilot group hitting the street. This makes me think that this rumor might not be true.
