34 Saabs and 28 Q's according to APC with a few more to go, I believe. Thats just the Colgan certificate, not sure what Mesaba brings to the table with the merger but their Saabs on the Delta side are going away, unfortunately.

The fact that we have pilots flying 4 CDO's in a row, on the back side of the clock, in the worst weather in the country, while doing 2 legs each way into small EAS airports is not in the utmost interest of safety under any airline or situation.

Just because Mesaba has been doing them for years does not mean they are safe. Every airline has a perfect safety record before their first accident/incident. This is not in reference to Mesaba but the fact that something can go routine 364 days a year but it only takes 1 bad night.

I didn't say they were safe, I agree with you that they should go away.

Plus, many people who fly CDOs don't fly it because they like them but because it is all their seniority can hold.

You cant blame the schedule when pilots bid CDO's and then decide not to get enough rest during the day when they are off. If you bid the schedule you should adjust, get your rest when you are supposed to be resting and do not count on getting it in the hotel on your layover.
