wow TYR, you must be soooooooooooo excited I guess on your pay you really cant afford to live anywhere else

 

I am excited...I'll be able to see my wife every night. What's wrong with that?

 

How excited is she that your going make 35k a year for foreseeable future

 

She doesn't really care since she makes more than double that.

 

In Texas ha? she a farmer? Serious question, how long have you been at COLGAN for?

 

Actually she's a doctor. It doesn't matter how long I've been at colgan. Spare me your "let me know how you feel in a few months" speech b/c I'm tired of hearing it. I'm sure it's not the best company in the world and it's certainly not what you make it out to be. Your time at colgan is over. Get over it, move on, and stop whinning about it.

 

Just trying to prevent newer guys from going through what I went through.................and it does matter how long you have been at COLGAN, because I was excited and didn't mind the abuse as much when I was only a few months in as well............but let me stop my whining, after all you "put your time in" you know all...............like I said before, come talk to me when you feel like Jodi Foster in the accused, watch the movie you'll know what I mean.............


PS I looked back on your history, hahaha YOU HAVE BEEN AT COLGAN LIKE A MONTH get a clue........................

 

My hat is off the the beech guys. I think they have to put up with a lot, but I have zero complaints on the saab. I did TDY all last month, had a nice hotel room every night, got paid per diem for the entire month, and had at least 12 hours of rest everynight. This month I've been in rochester which sucks, but the schedules are nice. No abuse here.

 

Well despite our opinions, Im glad you arent getting abused, try MANASSASS, or ALBANY..................

 

Saab, C'mon now, we know you had a bad experience and sorry you had to go through it. But, not everyone is or will go through the same BS. We all have different situations and experiences. Of all the Colgan pilots I have spoken with over the past few months most tend to say it's not a bad place to be and the crews are great people. Especially if you live in base the qol is pretty good. And if your spouse works it's an even better situation. Most pilots will not make a career out of Colgan Air and I see no reason why one could not enjoy a good QOL and build your turbine pic time and move on to the major's, fractional or whatever. I just got hired last week and look forward to my time there and we'll just have to see what the next 6 mos-1yr bring. If I can spend more time at home and see my daughter grow up it will be worth some of the bs that I might encounter. We all have to make sacrifices here and there. Which ones you make are up to your needs.
