You're probably right. They are very busy and mine was set up back on the 18th. Good luck and I'll see you there!

 

When I interviewed in July I did not receive my travel itinerary until 4:30 pm the day before the interview. They are very busy and it is easy to slip through the cracks. I had to call and remind them a few times. Good luck!

 

Should I send my resume to the [email protected] email address or do the online application at that website?

 

More importantly I would do the airlineapps.com application first. And then if you want to follow up with a resume to that email address I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

 

Best of luck to those who will be interviewing the next couple of days!

 

357 posts on Colgan and the thread is still open, this is a new record.

(Perhaps I should have not said anything, like talking to your pitcher during a no-hitter)

 

It is starting to slow down a bit... I am disapointed. Let's hope for the best

 

Anybody know where initial training for colgan is done? For the ground portion and sim. Anything you can add to the effect of how the training takes place? Im still stuck at "open your books to page one... begin reading!" Am I missing some stuff?

 

No... thats kinda how training was done at CJC when I went through.... here are the books... instructor hit on the really really important stuff but we had to fend for ourselves on the rest of it.... welcome to the world of flying people, gelled hair, ipods, ray bans, and backpacks!

 

Initial training takes place at "Colgan World Headquarters" in Memphis, TN.

Unless much has changed, this is what you can expect:

** 1 day of orientation (generic company stuff, badge photos, review of alcohol/drug policy, review of sexual harassment policy, payroll, scheduling, uniform measuring, etc...A very full and BORING day).

**2 weeks of basic indoctrination topics (121 regs, weather, special airports/procedures, dispatching, safety, security, hazmat,etc...Some of this is very interesting and the rest is downright BORING)

**2 days of CRM/TEM

**2 weeks of aircraft systems, followed by the oral portion of your initial proficiency check

**2 weeks of simulator training (8 sim sessions, 3 normal, 5 abnormal, loft, pc) Each sim session builds upon the last with the idea to be proficient to pass checkride. You will also do a CPT before normal and abnormal procedures are introduced. This is SAAB training I am describing, the Q differs because of more automation and the "box" (FMS). So, they have a much different syllabus I am sure.

**25-50 hours of I.O.E depending on your flight times. Upon completion of I.O.E. You will be receiving your initial line check and then "enrolled" as a proud member of the "Pilot Monitoring Program" until you have 75 hours (I think? Green on Green is 75, so correct me if I am wrong here) in model. You also are required to complete COT (Consolidation of Training; 100 hours in 90-days since completion of your initial PC). However, COT can be completed after IOE with a line Captain. If you don't complete COT in the prescribed time, then you get to go back to the sim for another PC!

There it is in a nutshell...

Back to regularly scheduled programming...
