Yep, I am from Colgan.
I also gave 6 years to this pilot group on both the Colgan and Pinnacle MECs. I don't hide behind my keyboard using a vague screen name . My record and service speaks for itself. If you don't like that I stick up for Colgan pilots who get bashed because you got screwed out of an upgrade, then that is a personal issue you should get help with.
But if defending a group of pilots who are innocent then yes I "pollute" your little flying club on airlinkpilots.com.

Oh I know who you are now..."Mr. I am entitled to that left seat"....while I have sat in the right seat being a check airmen instructing and being a captain. All fun and games though for you though right?? You are sticking up for a bunch of people who have no business being in the left seat based purely on safety. You didn't screw me out of an upgrade( I'm too junior) I don't care about any of that. I'm sick of your white knight attitude both on here and airlinks. I can't wait to fly with you in NYC someday. I'll do my job and that's it, and I pray to god you are the 1% of colgan pukes I won't have to instruct or act as PIC, because I am sick and tired of it and I don't get paid enough to do it.
Most Colgan CAs didn't have Mesaba guys giving them instruction / OE. So it's purely on Pinnacle LCAs who passed "deficient" airmen as to why we FOs might have to "CFI".
And no excuses for the company pushing LCAs to pass guys with lots of OE. Company pushing caused MKE.
Pinnacle pilots aren't any worse, and many times aren't any better than the guys from the other airlines we merged with.
I have flown with the OP as his FO, and he is as good or better than every other CA with whom I have shared a flight deck.
How anyone can stick up for the punitive nature of 9E "training" I will never understand.

I tell you what, tom11011, the most unprofessional behavior I've seen is pilots talking about fellow pilots in front of passengers and wondering aloud not if, but when, they are going to bend metal.
Be glad you don't work here. It's cringe inducing.

You realize this is a weak argument right?

You are clueless if you think it is the legacy 9e check airmens fault, and have no idea how the current department operates. There is a reason original 9e never gave more than 50 hours of OE, and there is a reason why at least 3 FO"'s banned from upgrade there are now 900 captains.
