Silver Airways
 

There is like only one or to cycle updates left on our current ones. The plan is to replace it with a newer unit I think similar to the ones you used at TSA. I saw that pic of the Saab with the Garmin in it and I just had to post it lol.

If they put GPSs in the Saabs, then maybe the Company Race Program will come start. Cha Ching

The last FMS update is on Dec. 2 and is good for 28 days. We will not be getting new FMS's or GPS's anytime soon. All the Saab's will be flown with good old fashion green needles. Enjoy boy and girls!

Saluki who is the babe on your avatar?

At least the flight times will be longer :D

This will be quite familiar for any former 9L pilots now at Silver. At least the air conditioning will still work for the summer(fingers crossed). It was disappointing to receive Mesaba Saabs at Colgan and have the A/C deactivated a week later.

Understatement of the century.... especially those of us who were IAH based.... but it's ok.... we still had our portable fans from Wal-Mart....

You guys Saabs didn't have A/C?

The Colgan Saabs had conditioned air, but they weren't good at producing cold air in the summer. The Saab B+ models from Mesaba had an extra box full of magical ice gnomes that provided cool air in the summer. Colgan mx couldn't pay the gnomes what they were worth, the gnomes quit, and that was the end of cool air in the Saab, so I've been told...
