I agree with this definitely. Colgan used to be the regional to go to if you wanted to sacrifice pay for a quick upgrade, but this is not so much the case right now. I know of several FOs that will probably be into their 4th year before they upgrade ... it sucks, but that's just the way the economy is right now. Until the new Q's come next year, there won't be any movement. Buuuut, on a brighter note, the next batch of Q's has been confirmed that some, if not all, will be going to IAH. When that happens, IAH will go VERY senior for the Q. IAH is already a senior base for both CA and FO, and I know of several people who would transfer back to IAH in a heartbeat when the Q goes there.
EWR, my guess is, will go junior relatively quickly once the Q's start heading to IAH, and all the new and junior Q's CAs will either stay in EWR if they are already based there, or will transfer from the Saab to the Q. There are quite a few very senior CAs in IAH that have refused to transfer to the Q until it shows up on IAHs doorstep. |

You mean more CAL flying moving to another regional, right?
It reminds me of the less than 10% of express jet pilots that still think we are out to get them. Luckily 90% of the express guys and gals are great people who ACTUALLY know how the industry works. |

See, right there. A positive outlook on life...
Or maybe it's just because we finally have some BOS overnights. :D:D Colgan is the best!.....until next month and then I will hate them again. |
so what exactly is going to happen when Colgan starts hiring again? Will new FOs be put in the Q, or the Saab, or will they need pilots for both?

Great more flying going to a company who treats their employees like garbage, paying pilots who are now living in the Northeast 25-35 thou a year, flying a larger airplane, and then having to tell these drooling kids bragging about their turbo-prop that Yeah sure its great you have a job but this career is complete and utter crap. As soon as you have a chance at making a nice living, some other drooling newb will do it for half the price and say "its CAL's flying". (no offense to whoever said that) The QOL afforded to colgans pilots is horrendous... HORRENDOUS! If half of you even knew how most airlines ran their operations you would be ashamed of what you have now. It is CAL's flying but this whole regional vs regional stuff is killing any hope you might have of having an enjoyable career. I dont care who you work for or how awesome you think your plane is... you will be undercut down the line and be in the same spot as xjt, comair, .... Thats why many people are upset at xjt... not any airline especially but the industry as a whole. |

WAKE UP! no one thinks colgan is out to get them. It is more a frustration with this industry. heres an airline where the fo's make almost HALF as much as an xjt fo (2nd yr fo comparison and so on) and we as pilots not as "my company is better then your company" BS are supposed to be happy about this?
