People on the ALPA OC said outstation basing was going away, that has recently started.

People on the ALPA OC said the Colgan's would not be running the show much longer, and now our new President is an associate of Frank Lorenzo

The company claimed nothing would change except the Q400.....another lie

Gee I wonder which side was honest.

It's a shame a 159 Colgan pilots couldn't educate themselves and see through the BS, now it's time to suffer our fate.

If your a Colgan pilor and do not know who Frank Lorenzo is you will learn quick.

Well for those COLGAN pilots who voted no, I suggest you pick up "Flying the Line, Vol I, II" and read it, have fun with your new management

I just googled "Frank Lorenzo" and if this is true...about his associate being our new president...then we're screwed.

The old saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" may hit home if this comes into full effect. If this happens...maybe I could stand to wait to upgrade for a year or two going to a different regional...

Makes me wonder why this guy comes on board soon after ALPA is turned down

More than 15,000 people lost their jobs in one day.

Just remember, the problem wont be losing our jobs. The problem is keeping them, and being a scab if things go the way I would predict. BC was in the NMB room when th ALPA vote failed, standing next to the Colgan rep.

Big Sky still hiring?
