Yeah, the Colgan name ain't the best in the navy.

Colgan management is scum. By accepting employment at this company you are accepting and promoting abysmal work rules and pay. They made somewhere around 30 million in one of the last quarters off of the backs of these hard working employees... This is not OK!!! If you work for colgan you need to get upset and you need to educate yourself on how far Colgan is lagging behind its competitors in work rules, corporate culture, and pay.

It was a good special.

I agree 100%, Roger Cohen is a real low-life, same as the VP of the Majors who ignored the question about sharing liability with their regional partners. The reporter was awesome, I just wish they would have given regional pilots more credit, its the lifestyle that degrades our ability to fly airplanes in most cases, not our lack of knowledge or skill (IN MOST CASES)

The Colgan pilots on the show were very well spoken, and did a very good job of representing day to day life.

I highly suggest to anyone who has not watched, to make sure to do so

I also think the FAA should be ashamed of themselves, they know exactly what goes on and turn their heads........

I agree with you and can only respond with the hackneyed rebuttal that CJC ALPA is actively working to achieve better work rules and increase safety.

Great show. Hopefully a lot of people got educated tonight about our industry.

My only comment would be to highlight the fact that there are a lot of great highly capable regional pilots out there flying the line every day.
