You might want to move this thread to the regional forum as you will get the answers to your question from current employees such as JUICE!

If we're not hiring immediately, we will be hiring in a few months as we start to ramp up for the new aircraft deliveries that will start mid-late next year. It will probably start of with a lot of recommendations, and when we run out of those, they'll grab off the street.

ya I need a few more hours to break 1k, then need to spend some time in the otter and king air and I will have the MINS, they doesnt help in this market im guessing

Just FYI colgan isnt hiring right now...their airline apps definitely says "Hiring Status: Colgan Air is not hiring pilots at this time" Im sure they will sometime in the near future though

ya not what the crew told me today though, just got to have someone hand walk it in

We aren't hiring at the moment but will be starting in early spring. As for when and how.... well... they treat us like mushrooms....

In the requirements,they forgot to mention ability to accept low pay. Janitors make more than pilots, how is that possible?:mad:

I'm just a CFI, but I believe it's because janitors don't ***** themselves out to "live the dream"?

First rule. Never trust a pilot when they tell you anything about their company. Most of us have heard it second hand or are just guessing.

On that note, when I was in ground a few weeks ago the CP said that we would be running an FO class in January.

Also, refer to rule number one. It was heard first hand but I still wouldnt read too much into it.

I don't work for Colgan, but here is the info I got...

Colgan Air will be starting to hire 158 pilots in the spring of 2010 for classes starting in May. Colgan Air is NOT hiring pilots at this time, but accepting applications.
