Of course you would want to fly for PSA, if you already work at Colgan you would love to work at any other airline (except maybe Lakes).

If this rumor is true, and I find it hard to believe it is, then I would hope that PDT furloughs are given first crack at the new positions after all PSA furloughs are recalled.

Were PSA furloughs given first crack when PSA was downsizing and PDT was still hiring? On a happier note I agree with BS.

I am just saying.... Dont bother getting the hopes up... I remember the pre-colgan days where when things got mention it seem as if your hopes went way up... I hope now you are seeing the 121 world and how things truely work. PSA simply is not getting any new aircraft, ANYTIME soon.... It simply does not make sense.... Plus the whole lateral moves are always dangerous... 10 minutes away or not.....

Forgive me, for I haven't been around that long, but when was this?

Mid 2008. PDT furloughed soon after.

Our union was in the process of coming up with am agreement to allow the PSA guys to come fly for us here at PDT. However, I was on a PSA Jumpseat one day during this time period and I asked if they heard about it. The response was more along the lines of "we don't fly props". So I left it alone. I hope that was the view of a few, but maybe not.

Nnnnnno....There is only one person I can think of (and he posts here too) who would say such a retarded thing. Especially if it were a captain since most of them flew the D328 and loved it.

Of course he doesn't fly props, he still has his job flying a jet. I'm sure if you asked any of us out on the street, we would have thought it a marvelous idea. Oh well, in a perfect world.

Nope, he was a FO. He had some other choice things to say, such as PSA gets the shaft because he's been there three years and he's flying the same planes that PSA had when he was hired. The captain looked at me then at h and just shook his head.
