Colgan bases
How long would it take to hold IAH or IAD as a base for a new hire? Im not sure if there are any other non-outstation bases for the Saab, but Im just looking for a 1 leg commute to Florida. Thanks.

People on here will give you a range of guesses but remember none of them work in Manassas and decide where people go.

This is purely speculation, but I think at this point in time, IAD would be much quicker to hold than IAH. Maybe even right out of training... but like OJ said, it's basically wherever they need you at the time you finish training. IAD is one of our most junior bases (the lines suck.. a lot.) Where do you live in Florida? I know MCO would be an easy one leg commute out of IAD... but if you live in a non-hub town in FL, one of the other more "southern" bases might work too.. for example, CHO, which would allow you to connect to FL via CLT or ATL.

Just to help you out, sometimes its easier to do it two-legs (worse case sinareo for you). A lot of flights that are direct, are usually at capacity (especially now that they are putting RJ's on those routes). If you could request CHO as a base, you would be set. You could connect through CVG, ATL, DTW, IAD, PHL, LGA, and CLT. Lots of options.
All I am suggesting is that you be open-minded to the idea of a two-leg commute. You will make your life nuts if you aren't open to this idea.

PS. You can expect to hold IAD within a few months. Patience is golden Daniel-son.

There is also LGA, but it's pretty senior, the lines suck maybe even more so than IAD, and I haven't looked up passrider, but I'm thinking commuting out of LGA would require a 2 leg if you're going to JAX.

Classes have been cancelled before on the day a new class was to begin.
I have heard nothing about a class being cancelled and I know Colgan is interviewing in LGA on the 26th
