Ah, yes, I should have specified, this was just my particular class. We had a Colgan instructor at Flight Safety (the previous class had a Flight Safety guy, I believe?), so I'm not sure if we're the last group to go through but I imagine we're on the tail end? #30 is coming online in August if I heard correctly on the conference call. I don't know how many more crews they're sending through but the class after us was also supposed to be the last Colgan class before they were all Mesaba classes...but this new development with the operating certificates switch up might change that...or not.
This is obviously until the next batch of orders. 757 orders that is. Don't think I forgot about that promise.
