here we go again...............

Man, there sure is alot of resentment towards Colgan. Alot of this seems to come from what people are telling you. Please, unless you are like my friend SAABaroowski who has exprerienced flying at Colgan, please stop making things seem worse than they are. And for EVERYONES info, I believe we are going to become unionized within a year. What will your beef be with us then??? We had a heart breaking loss last summer with ALPA, I myself will do MORE this time to spread the word and support the next union drive.

I think when a union, Preferably ALPA, gets on property there, its gonna be a good thing for the pilot group over there. I think next time around most of the pilot there will vote. I think when the EWR ops gets into place it will be an eye opener as to why a union, and good work rules means a lot, especially when it comes to ground stops, reduced rests, commuting, and all of the other bs that comes with flying in and out of EWR.


Jamers, Awesome signature by the way, I believe it

The reserve time for United FAs is 5 years plus at every domicile, so its not going matter which base she's at. Currently she's at SFO and that is more senior than DCA is. As for the three airports they are doing a preferential bidding that allows you to specify which airport you prefer and it has been working out fairly well so far. You might have to go to the other airports maybe once every other month.

And I didn't ask for relationship advice, thanks.

Good to hear that you'll be pitching in for the next drive.

Colgan used to be a small family turboprop eas company. Now it's a 74 seat airline flying in/out of EWR regional.

Sure I haven't worked for Colgan, but the payrates alone that are published are enough to frustrate anyone that is having lines in their base taken away and given to pilots who want to work for less. (XJT EWR)

I'd rather wait for 4 "strips" at a quality company and enjoy good mx and a good schedule.

Keep waiting....

Just because your P/O'ed about the situation dosent mean you can go running your mouth on a public forum and not expect to get smacked around a little.

I have no complaints over here, weekends off, xmas eve, xmas, new years eve, new years off, and a 80hr line. Havent had any problems with mx either, I write it up, and they fix it, if not I dont take it. (Perks of being a CA.)
And to educate your ignorant self, b/c you seem to be the colgan expert, we do have some CA's who dont agree with the pay scale and will not fly the Q400 until the pay goes up.

Get used to that right seat beacuse your gonna be there for awile....

Not the worst thing in the world, especially when we make comparable wages to SAAB CA's, but the Turbine PIC is nice.

Check your PM's

how'd yoi get new years day off? The bids for jan arnt even out?
