Good luck guys and gals at Skyway...

Just saw a Google ad that Colgan Air will be interviewing for captain positions Monday in Milwaukee. Anybody know if that's in the Saab or Beech?

From someone who has been thru this before and is starting over for the third time, my best wishes go out to all Skyway employees. Hang in there.

This is really sad. I luckly made the lateral move from Skyway to another regional back in November. I never thought Skyway would cease ops this soon. I know a lot of good people at Skyway side and I hope with the way regionals are hiring everyone can successfully gain employment elsewhere.

Amen. Anyone remember September 11th and all those wonderful "flow-through" agreements aka furlough protection for the majors.

Hey guys, checkout the thread titled: A sign of things to come. It’s a bunch of guys that want the regional airline service to end. What a bunch of selfish people.

Sorry to hear about the skyway thing. On a side note, colgan is doing on the spot interviews in MKE today for captain slots. My guess would be on the saab and q400. Not the best gig, but it will keep the money flowing till you can find something else. Good luck guys.

from colgan HR:

As you may know we hired several former Big Sky pilots that are in training now. We are interviewing Skyway pilots tomorrow (Monday) in Milwaukee. We put this open house together on short notice after learning of the situation at Skyway late last week.
If you know any Skyway pilots please pass on the following information.

Open House
Monday, 1/21/08, 10 am
Holiday Inn Express
1400 W. Zellman Court
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This thread is titled "Skyway Closing Doors." How about we keep it on topic with relevant info on helping the Skyway pilots rather than whine because people don't share your opinion in a different thread.

It is readily apparant that you have no ambition in this business beyond the RJ, or simply no understanding of the long term positive implications of RJ flying being replaced by mainline flying....
