Q400 Cities
 
Just wondering what the current rumors or guesses on where the Q will be flying IF it comes to IAH. My first guess would be GRK cause we are always over booked on every flight there.

Do not see any reason on speculating on what may happen if something happens a year from now.

All this thread does is start another Colgan vs XJT thread and will be closed in a few days.

I know this wasn't your intention, but this has the makings of a flame fest

yep, I'll have to respectfully ask this thread be closed. You guys can flame away all you want, but think about if you were an XJT pilot. You used to do all CALs regional feed, fought your a** off the get an industry leading contract, then had 50%+ flying "redirected" by CAL to other cheaper carriers who fly 70+ seat aircraft for peanuts. You guys can complain about XJT pilots dogging on Colgan/Commutair/CHQ/Gulfstream pilots all you want, but if you were a 6+ year XJT pilot, you would feel the same way. I'm sure this is exactly how CAL pilots felt when XJT starting taking their jet routes, and rightfully so, but the point is, a 21 year old colgan pilot getting excited about Q400s coming to IAH is not something XJT guys are gonna get on here and smile about. Just my .02

By the way, I'm aware this is and always has been CALs flying and they can give it to whomever they want, but the point is seeing it given to pilots willing to fly more seats for cheaper is downright sad for any pilot group.

The key is to tell a joke. Then IC ALL will close it. God forbid there should be any fun in a Regional forum full of doom and gloom.

Stay on topic or you shall be warned, banned, and your dog set on fire!

So a guy runs into a psychiatrist's office yelling, "I'm a wigwam! I'm a tee-pee! I'm a wigwam! I'm a tee-pee!"

Psychiatrist says, "Calm down, you're too tents!"

Actually a 26 year old pilot that served his country for 6 years and didnt have mommy or daddy pay for my flight school to go fly a shinny jet and think I was Continental Mainline. Anyways this was a bad idea starting this. LOL

if your 26 and ex-military... why on Gods good earth would you go to work for colgan? did a mortar go off too close and rattle all the sense loose in your head or were you just too incompetent to pass any other airlines interview?

I would hate to break it to you but xjt was the second airline or 135 operator for most of us. There are very few here who have had everything given to them.
