Just curious why they don't do this when you're interviewing? (pee-test, that is). Or, do they do the "astronaught-physical" thing?

Getting sent for a drug test is a good thing. Put it this way, if they didn't want to hire you they would just let you know right then and there. But spending money (drug test) is coming out of their pocket. So... I would think that's a good sign. When I got hired at Colgan there was about 11 interviewing and only 8 of us went to get tested, which actually were hired. Good luck guys! Hope to see ya on the line.

Yea..if they are flying you in to have a drug test then they are going to give you an offer as long as you pass. So study hard for it:D

ha, yea. i don't have to fly anywhere, they gave me a list of approved places in my area

Well my phone has not left my side in the past 3 days. I hope I get a call to get drug tested....bet you dont hear that everyday.

yea same here. good luck

Just got the Phone Call. Yay drug test, never been so happy to have one of these before.

For the record...

Some folks expressed their issues with people taking a job at colgan. It is certainly a crappy bottom-feeder, and I would have not recommended it a year ago but they have voted in a union and are taking steps to improve their situation. Risky, but it has possibilities.

Isn't Colgan owned by PNCL?

I have heard they are going to do pref. interviews for the furloughed CAL folks..does anyone know if they are hiring f/o's only or are they hiring any street captains? Good luck to all who have applied.:)

I don't know for certain. However, I seriously doubt there will be any street captains. I will do some investigating for you.
