Morale at Colgan.......

PLEASE send us your emails! From the latest MEC Fast Read.......

Quote:

These past few months have been especially difficult for all of us. Under intense scrutiny from the company, there is more pressure than ever, adding to an already challenging environment. Nevertheless, the pilots at Colgan continue to demonstrate their commitment to professionalism, both in and out of the cockpit.

We are well aware that pilot morale is at an all time low and we would like to hear from each and every one of you about some of the issues affecting morale and the ways you feel morale could be substantively improved.

Please send an e-mail to us at: [email protected]. No anonymous e-mails please. This should be a very personal and human account from each member of the pilot group. Any e-mails we share with the company will be de-identified. This information will help us as we pursue changes in the culture here at Colgan.

Thank you very much for your participation! We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you.

What is one step below "extremely low," is it "wicked low?"

Actually I would say morale is "Mesa Low." I think that is the lowest.

I think there is lower than "Mesa Low." Mesa pilots can now say, "Tag your it" to Colgan pilots as the industry punching bag. From what I've read about a few of the new rule proposals (12 hrs in domicile prior to duty in and 10 hrs min rest) there are going to be a lot of really upset pilots out there and that will cause animosity towards Colgan. While I am not proposing there should be I believe it is just what will happen knowing how pilots can be, especially when their lives will take a major beating if this happens.

WOW!
Do you really need someone from within the pilot group to tell you how to raise morale???

Shows how disconnected and out of touch you are from the pilots at Colgan.

You're disconnected......- from this thread.

They're asking why (specific) circumstances of why it's low. That way they know how to rectify it.

I believe Seggy is the CJC MEC Chairman.
