FLYBYNITE,

As a pilot flying for PNCL's evil step-sister (Colgan), I can relate to the pressures management et. al. put on crews. Either the CA you ran into is the 1% jerks that every company has, or he was forced into a fight he felt he could not win.

PNCL pilots have a right to be angry at how funding for our aircraft came from the fruits of their labor. Yet they have been quite fair and helpful to our pilot group. Please, don't fault an entire group for one bad experience especially since it may have been beyond his control.

PS. to the PNCL folks, the folks at Colgan who REALLY understand things, thank you for your help.
