What's really going on over there? Karen C tells me "FO's last class for the Q is April 28th." Then I get an email a couple of days ago saying "Hiring Captain's and FO's the Q.". I just saw another ad on climbto350 today saying "Q400 F/O-s-NEWARK".

Any guys at Colgan with good info would be helpful.


Thanks

 

This should be a hint to you about the quality of the company you are applying too.

 

My June 11th Class was canceled yesterday. No attrition. I got that email also its strange.

 

Friend was supposed to start new hire Saab ground next week, found out today class has been put on hold

 

still cant beleive their published mins are 1000TT and 50ME

 

They have put an ad in Climbto350 almost every day for the past few months.
There was one today for 1900 street ca, and q4 fo's.

 

There were a few people with job offers to the majors who have been put on hold due to the fuel/65 ordeal. Basically movement has slowed down and being that Colgan is very reactive rather than pro-active you are getting the mixed signals as management is running with their heads cut off. I'm def seeing some slowing here in IAH for the time being.

The Q has the potential for growth with the current economic situation, but since I don't fly it, I can't say what's going on there. I do know that Lynx canceled its 10 options, is Colgan next on the list or Horizon, I don't know, but if we are we may be expanding that market at a faster rate than anticipated.

Lastly, all FOs are getting SIC types, only think we can think of is international flying, mexican border?? Someone says that there are a few flights into mexico by express that we could potentially do.

All of the above is nothing but my own best guess and or speculations take it for only that.

 

Well now they have 1000/100 on their website. Amazing how they were just 300/50 a few months back and would take less with the indoc program.

 

Where did you hear that Lynx cancelled their options??? That is bogus.

 

We fly to YYZ and YUL, thats why.
