This is why Colgan doesn't need a Union.
Low oil pressure light today in our plane and shut down the number 1, followed by emergency landing. Maintenance log shows the plane written up 3 times this week for oil pressure- just add some oil- ops check complete.
So we land safely, and instead of getting the rest of the day off, we take a cab to another airport, to catch the Shuttle to LGA, then deadhead 2 more short legs to ferry another plane back here. We waited 3 hours in the crew room because they wouldnt buy us a day room to catch a nap in.
Of course, this is after we refused to fly the broken plane on a ferry flight after more oil was added.
Thanks for voting NO.

That sounds about right. Had a three hour mx delay yesterday, when they finally fixed it storms had moved in. Problem was we had prop heat MEL'd so we could not climb above it...had to wait longer for storm to pass.
Today was a 1 hr delay for mx on a plane that just came out of Manassas mx.
Where is SAAB and his typical Colgan bashing? Why not leave the Colgan complaining to those of us who actually work there.

I had that plane last week with the low oil pressure light. IN our case the gauges were fine but they did add oil to I believe the prop. Normal operating procedure here at Colgan. I love the circling apps at mins in heavy rain two of them today quite exciting
