I would love to see the public's reaction if they get wind of this.

edit: We all get junior manned and extended, but I figured that Colgan would be under more scrutiny regarding tired and overworked pilots.

What reaction. Colgan is almost gone. Pretty soon the public will think they went out of business!!

If that 124 number in july is accurate, I'm really curious to see the numbers in august, sept and oct... Things are light years better in nov it seems.

Who is the Mesa guy? Just wondering. I don't remember who took over from Debbie Myles.

His first name is the answer to this question: What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs at your front door?

Fill in the blank for the last name: Your arm bone is connected to your wrist bone, your wrist bone is connected to your _____ bone.

Good luck!

124/month! Staffing problems, I'd say so! This is either a desired outcome of management, abusing pilots to bail out the company or a result of the worst crew planning team in commercial aviation. Either way, it shows absolutely no concern for the employee quality of life, this proves the enormous disconnect between the flight crews and management. I'm sure CAL/UAL would be interested to hear this.

Your thoughts?

That will change when Joe Restifo takes over.

It can be hard to avoid them when the remarks section of the release states, "FO so-and-so must call scheduling at destination for a schedule change."

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 08:07 PM.
