the IAH flying was supposed to be the replacement for the Saabs with dash's starting in April. Colgan's pro-rate agreement is up for renewal then and my friends at commutair were really talking it up as if it was a possibility but april is right around the corner and no announcement... starting to question the rumor.

In order to ramp up for this type of growth the training dept has stated that they would need 90 days prior to the first new aircraft being placed into service. (One delivery per month) We are currently interviewing/hiring alot of people, not just pilots, but FA's, MX and are also bringing more pilots on as sim instructors and check airman. Again, not understaffed at all either..Something may just be brewing...

For them to start placing one plane a month in iah starting in april is a tall order.
