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.

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.

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.
