A good thing for Colgan pilots not CommutAir

It really does sound like the q's will be doing flying in a base other than Houston. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

As for the "who goes where?" The guys/gals in training and scheduled for upcoming Q IAH class dates will almost certainly fight to remain in Houston on the Saab, as they should. It's simple really. People will move/commute to jobs that are worth moving to or commuting for. In this case, the way Colgan treats it's flight crew all but leaves them without qualified pilots for a Cleveland base or any expansion in Newark.

It's amazing to me that other regionals think they are better than everybody else. We all are the same and always will be unless WE ALL work together and build a better future. If we don't we are playing into the airline management plan. Skidmark you are right PNCl has made in my opinion worse at 9e.

PS. Regionals should be 500 miles and less. If more you are in the major routes stealing their jobs.

Always so negative aren't you, I love the dilusion that you are under thinking that one crap pot "Colgan" is any worse off that another crap pot "Pinnacle."

Ohhhh not to worry... I crap on Pinnacle a lot more then I crap on Colgan... and I am very aware of the sh** hole I work for.

Oh but our second TA is right around the corner and Pinnacle will have industry leading average pay!

Same BS different gate. Does it really matter where they go? You airline has made it abundantly clear that they dont care about the pilots. You guys are an after thought. I hope people are paying attention to Spirit pilots right now... PCL is on what 6.5 yrs without a contract?
