Why not? Your growth was attributed to our holding company. I think you should share the burden. Can't have it both ways. You grew at our expense, now share the burden and take DOH.
Left where? NO one was hiring in the recession. And how will "other people" pay for my career decisions? I'm just saying DOH, and you STILL HAVE NOT GIVEN A REASON NOT TO DO DOH! I do not get how DOH hurts Colgan "career expectations"? Ha, if I can even use "Colgan" and "career expectation" in the same sentence....
Damn right! Cause of us, your sorry airline was able to grow. I don't know anyone who went to Colgan when they could have gone to other bigger, better regionals. The only Colganites I know that went there were rejects (no offense, the Marvin types). People who couldn't make the cut anywhere but luckily got in and passed at Colgan.
And toilet cleaning for me? Is that the best you can do as an insult? Try again, Marvin!

What on earth would you know about people who can and cannot make the cut at other airlines? You got handed a job as soon as you earned your Commercial/Multi and sat right seat on a highly automated airplane for the past 3 years watching the autopilot work? Yeah... you're Bob Hoover all right.
We have people at Colgan that have flown everything from little Cessnas to much larger aircraft like B727s, DC8s, and even many Guard guys actively flying C17s and C5's.
And as far as some of us who wouldn't go to other regionals over Colgan by choice? Many of us have. It's called Quality of Life, living in base and home most nights over Shiny Jet Syndrome and commuting hundreds of miles away. Colgan is my second (and hopefully last stop) on the regional bus. The grass isn't greener on either side of the fence. Each company is/was what it is/was.
Thankfully, I'll never have to worry about flying with you. I'd have to be delirious to bid any of the current Pinnacle bases in some of the worst parts of this country.

Its funny that everyone, well besides this shyguy putting his foot in his mouth on multiple occasions, is fighting about SLI when we don't even know if we'll be around after March 24th. Didn't you hear? Uncle Phil is leaving!! What are we going to do?? We're just going to fall apart! How will we survive without PT???
P.S. ShyGuy, were you the scheduler that junior manned me in the summer of 2007 and made me miss my son's birth?? I'll be seein you.

FWIW the MSA MEC has put out notice that if you lose longevity if you don't accept the mesaba recall. This is FALSE. The company will NOT be "docking" those who are already at 9E/9L. This is the "final recall" so if you want a job, you gotta come back. Those working at 9E/9L will NOT be losing anything. The MSA MEC has spoken in effect of the company, but not the truth. The company will not be paying the added training/retraining expenses for those already on line. There is a good bit of "behind the scenes" politics in play with this little fear campaign. The MOU is clear and those who came back under the MOU will not have a gun to their head.
I'd take the XJ recall rather than rolling the dice on that one.
