With regards to the fellow at Conti Mainline who went to riddle
Four good friends of mine currently are line holders at Continental on the 737 and two can hold 757 cruise FO what they all have in common is they started at Colgan. If you talk to any of them they will encourage anyone to go to Colgan even now! I understand your frustration of being furloughed but to say that a majority agree with you (granted 4 ppl are not a majority either) is making an assumption backed up by ????
I'm not at Colgan nor do I have plans to go to Colgan but being on the corporate side IF I were on a hiring board I rather hire a guy from Colgan than a bitter mainline pilot who's out to screw others! One last thing A SCAB is A SCAB this is not the bible there are no modified definitions or New World editions of this word.
Back on Topic:
My former colleague who interviewed this past weekend said that they will be interviewing this upcomming weekend in LGA again and subsequently there after.
I have no problem with folks who get their careers started at Colgan. I have no doubts that CAL has plenty of well qualified professional pilots who started there.
My issue is one of TIMING. All I'm saying is that Colgan's Class of 2010, while not scabs, appear to have the same motivations as CAL's scabs from the mid 1980s. CAL has plenty of skeletons in its own closet. Guys who would WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY undercut a fellow furloughed union pilot are the same types of people who would act along the lines of CAL's own scab captains who volunteered to fly in the right seat while guys like me got furloughed.
That sort of behavior is reprehensible and should not be encouraged.
