124 Junior Man/Extensions Per Month @ Colgan!
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?

This unfortunately is becoming systemic for at least the regional industry. Horizon has their new staffing levels going on too.
I doubt the mainline partners would care even in the slightest. As long as they are getting their regional lift as cheap as possible they won't notice that yes, the widgets actually do have lives.
I say kick them in the knee : )

I just don't get it. Sorry to bring it up, but with 3407 blamed partially on fatigued pilots, now you guys are (excessively) extending and JM'ing, increasing pilot fatigue to the limits? Have we learned nothing?
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.

The guy who did the PBS special on 3407 did a decent job on explaining things to the general public, maybe he should do a follow-up...
