Some Facts about Colgan and the Q's

Before our purchase by Pinnacle, Colgan flew Saabs for UsAir, United, Continental.

Before our purchase by Pinnacle, Colgan made the deal to fly the Q400 for Continental.

Colgan was purchased by Pinnacle for our code share agreements with those airlines with hope for future jet flying with them. Colgan was also purchased for our deal with Continental to fly the Q400. Pinnacle was a good partner because they had cash to finance the deal.

There has been alot of talk about how Pinnacle pilots had more of a right to fly the Q then the Colgan pilots. Although I acknowledge the fact that Pinnacle financed the Q400 fleet and thank them as I would thank my banker for such; Colgan made the deal for those planes. Colgan pilots deserved to fly them.

Soon we will be one group and you will get your wish to fly one...that is if you still want to.
