Ahhhhh, "Disgusta!" Driving up the hill after a nice snow, don't miss that. DO miss Margarita's(Sp?) across from the Super 8 I think it was.
Hey, that senior Captain wouldn't be "BRAGGING" would it? Still chewing gum and popping bubbles in your ear over the intercom?

The one and the only. He's a good guy. And yes that hill completely sucks in the winter. If only they would actually plow it. I take it you flew out of here some years back.

So, PVD might be closing? Thats just great, considering I took the job with Colgan to live in base with my wife and daughter here in PVD. Figures, I should have seen it coming. I am in sim right now and I didn't need a distraction like that because now I have to wonder where the heck I will end up. Looks like I'll be making the commute every week for a year. And why PVD, it's a great base? It's too bad. Any Colgan pilots based in PVD, whats the deal?

Awesome! I think I was one of the people that started that bs rumor while we were sitting bored on a wx delay in the old Ghetto gates in IAD. Amazing how things get around.

Sorry to hear that Shamrok. I know a Saab FO based there, and they put them all TDY for the winter at other bases with ugly reserve schedules. Good news, the Beech is on its ways out so maybe its just for the winter? Good luck in training.

It would be nice to see tha Saab back in the spring at PVD but who knows. I hope they plan to keep HYA and MHT around for a while longer so I can have some form of a QOL. Sim broke last night, back to back sim tonight!

These forums always make me laugh. I am an FO in PVD and yes, origanally they did pull our lines from us mid-nov to put us on reserve til early march however, from what I heard they weren't going to do this. Our lines in nov consist of the latter part of the month being on reserve and next month will be back to normal. From what I heard they did this in a few different places, probably due to the lighter loads in the winter months.
