Thoughts on Colgan?
 

As I start my search for a possible regional job, I am looking at different regionals where my QOL would be best. Colgan would be great because it is very close to home. Anyway, what is everyone's thoughts and feelings on colgan? Flying time, upgrade time, etc.

Any other regionals? I'm around 500TT and 60ME.

Im too tired to go off into one of my rants, but do a search on this website about COLGAN, that should do it.


PS. I will be in LGA later this month to rally with other ALPA members for COLGAN...............anybody else going to show some support???? Beers on me after ;)

That's a noble cause to begin with and i will do my best to show, but if thats the case then i'm that much more motivated

We really need the support and to get a unified pilot group.

Colan is pretty cool.

Or not....

If you send them your resume you will be called within 10 minutes....and offered an interview within 12. Can you say desperate??

I think staffing will be even more of an issue when they get the Q400. They won't any issues staffing that airplane because current Colgan pilots will get on that plane but they will have a hard time with the SAAB 340.

So your saying that current Colgan capt's will bid for the Q400's thus leaving a number of unfilled seats for the Saab? Makes sense. So I suppose they will be looking even harder to find pilots for the Saab bases. Sounds like they will be busy hiring for quite a while. I know people have their issues with Colgan and I respect their opinions, but I think Colgan might be a good fit for myself. If they are going to USE me then I will USE them and move on in a few years. Who know's, just have to wait and see. Any current Colgan pilots wish to add their 2 cents?

I think you just heard from a few former Colgan guys :p
