Salt Lake? Continental/United presence?? How long have I been asleep!!!???

Fear not. I have no doubt that Colgan will pay 100% of your moving costs. There will also be a generous relocation allowance. I'm sure the union will also ensure the company pays all of your home's closing costs. No doubt Colgan will also pay the difference that you lost on your home's value as a result of the sale.

If you think about every other base has some sort of plan to upgrade/change their crew room for the contract yet at EWR we have zip. From what I have seen, all the new hire FO's are going to IAH as well and we are/were going to crew IAD with IAD FA's. Seems to make sense to me. Other rumors are colgan was looking at crew rooms in ORD and Untied manger let it out that Q's are going to DEN.

Sooo, crew rooms determine the life expectancy of a base? Hmmm :confused::confused:

Really?? I would've thought that IAH would be pretty senior, especially with people who would want to commute from the west... especially with EWR as the other option...

If you're going to make up a rumor, make it a good one.
