Actually, yes I do. And yes I have. Did I have to talk with D.N.? Yes. It wasn't a problem. The conversation was very professional. In fact, he got us a hotel room.

That said, for those of you thinking you would like to work for Colgan, you need to understand Colgan is still a relatively small company. You're not a number here. Crew Scheduling will likely know you by name, not seniority number. Crew Scheduling sits right next to Dispatch, and I mean right next to them. Both are run by the companys' president's son. The person who does the monthly bids is his aunt (the younger sister of the president). The Chief Pilot sits right outside Dispatch and Scheduling. Get the drift? All that means that your reputation on-line here counts. It's very difficult to be invisible. If you "work" it right, it's an advantage. If not, it's a risk. Some people do better in this type of environment than others. It's not necessarily good or bad. It is the way it is.
