That's it!
Like it or not APC, Colgan is growing. Colgan may have 1000 pilots in a few years if all Q options are exercised. So there are 2 options the current pilots can take:
1) Complain and moan about everything and continue to lower the standards of the regional industry.
2) Work to improve our little airline for ourselves and the pilots who will be coming on in years to come.
For me this is a no brainer. I want to do what we have to in order to make it better. Our union is off to a great start and the pilots who are involved currently are already doing a great job.
We are conducting our contract survey so our negotiations can begin soon.
I am optimistic about how things will look in the future.
And for the guy who said that Colgan pilots are "hostile and defensive," not the case at all. I was saying that it is always funny how some "Billy Bada$$" will post on these forums about how these pilots suck and these pilots are cool, and then email Chuck Colgan about how they would like to get into a class because they are furloughed will no call back in sight.
