Just because you finished IOE and think you know a thing or two about this entire industry and Colgan that doesn't make it so.

Truth be told I was there for the first big Union drive and I can confidently say that Seggy was the reason the whole initial Union drive failed. Every pilot i talked to that spent more than a few minutes talking with him felt that they would not want someone like him representing them. I was on the first organizing committee when the other ALPA reps asked Seggy to excuse himself from one of our meetings because of the uniformed, uneducated comments that he was constantly making. The amount of Damage Control we needed to take for this guy was unbelievable and we were not even organized yet, it was an embarrassment to have be associated with him on a professional level in front of the other ALPA reps.


Drink the ALPA Kool Aid boys, but if you truly wanna raise morale and get a decent contract, QOL, and PWA then dump Seggy and find yourselves a better leader.
I'd trust the opinion of a pilot currently at Colgan with 6 months on the job moreso than someone who used to work here sometime ago. Things have been rapidly changing here ever since Pinnacle purchased the company.

What have you done lately to improve the quality of this profession? Posting on a message board is not exactly putting your neck on the line.
