Now come on Colgan guys. You all know with the contract we took all and gave none. Here is a clip which shows how it went down:

For what its worth, I apologize to most of the colgan guys for my rant. None of this is directly your fault, its just a very very very hard pill for me to swallow. Im sure it is for others as well.

Don't worry we are just talking about practice. Not a game..... Practice

I look forward to when we all fly together and can buy beer for eachother.

At the beginning of the trip I let my crew know I've got the first round. If they order a Bud or a PBR, I'll keep buying. But if they order the Grey Goose Apple-tini, they better make it last.

Sorry, but I don't have the SWA 1-2-3 rule or their contract.

On a side note, now that Colgan is no longer a bottom feeder, and our Mesaba and Pinnacle brethren have given us this contract, I submit we are not bottom feeders, but rather, we are Leeches.
Viva la revolution, Viva los Leeches!
A leech???? Keep dreaming, pal! Get back to work, BOTTOM FEEDER!!!

Bingo! Also if it is in your line, you can't ignore a phone call or refuse the draft. Our fearless leaders have won a double-header.

I doubt they will wish they hadn't done it. Calling fatigued takes action on the pilot's part: some won't do it, others remember the "Family Oriented" Colgan and get nervous. As for sick calls, everybody knows you pilots are just a bunch of slackers who convert sick time into "sickations". The company might as well flog you now so you burn your sick time and won't have any to use during the holidays.
1 point management! I knew that at the implementation of this contract the company would incur huge labor costs associated with understaffing. I figured they would rush to increase staffing levels. i never even considered that they would blatantly screw their pilots. This does not bode well at all for the operation. The pilots will be run down, angry and suffer epic low morale. You'll never see an hungry, tired, beat down army win any wars.
