It was mostly true. They only reason you aren't harssed at work by people who saw it was because it was on PBS. Don't give up your #for colgan.

And if you get recalled how would they know your reason for quitting, unless people just run their mouths off.

Many places, like SkyWest, have you sign a letter addressed to your furloughed carrier stating that you relinquish you seniority number.

I was dumbfounded by the PBS special.

That isn't the Colgan I worked at. Yeah they were mom and pop, but changing showtimes? Never heard of it.

I'm pretty sure that SkyWest does not make you resign your number from the airline you are furloughed from. I have flown with quite a few people that are furloughed from American.

I interviewed with Colgan back in 2006, a day before I was hired at my current airline. Chuck was very adamant that Colgan was not going to be sold, and will stay a small family run business. A few months later....well, he weren't too honest now, were he?

I was given a spot in the pool.

It's entirely possible that American does not honor letters of resignation from pilots on furlough... there's nothing saying they have to. Just depends on the company, I know several guys that sent letters that retained their seniority and others who's company honored the resignations....
