Livin the dream I WAS BASED IN ABE Awesome Awesome captains. The flying blows you wither go to IAD, or PIT and thats it 5AM shows to go to IAD or PIT and back and thats it. OR maybe two roundtrips but thats it, great guys though. If you don't get it Call MIkey Colgan personally he is really really good with that he will hook you up thats how I got ABE.


P.S. Training for any first time 121 is not easy especially the SAAB It was very stressful, and very challenging but can be done, don't worry. The training at XJT is much more detailed, but then agian we have FTD's more Instructors, and I have prior 121 which I think makes the difference we are having a lot of busts recently, my sim partner busted his PC today, and a few others did as well as some other requiring additonal training before PC's

so are you saying you don't get a lot of flying at ABE and those are the only two destinations you'll see? what about training?

I edited my post about training and yes that is the only flying you are going to do out of ABE

do you usually only get one side of that (either united to IAD or USA to PIT) or is it mixed? I dont know how I feel about only going to 2 destinations but it sounds like thats how CJC is. Are there any particular bases where you would get the most destinations for the saab? btw, congrats on passing your ride!! :)

Is anyone getting interviewed at Colgan low time? like 600tt with no internal letters of rec?

Thanks,

Actually ALB where i was based also we went to HYA, BUF, LGA, ITH, SYR, ORF, MHT, BOS, ACK, MVY, and a whole bunch of other places. You could fly UAL, or US Air I prefer Pittsburg they have the Madison Deli which has the Italian Madison, a very very tasty samwich, however IAD has Potbelly samwiches which are very very good as well. Also PIT has some really hot girls working in the stores in the mall there so ya know ;)

as a former colgan pilot, do you think it would be more worth it to go for ABE to live with family, or suck it up for a place with more destinations? that is some good info thanks! ;)

nah dude def go for family, I was in ABE was able to have 4 day weekends, and if ya want to fly to differnt destinations just pick up open time, you will be able to go to differnt places CREW SCHEDULING loves to screw with your schedule.

lol sounds like both a positive thing and a negative thing....

hey saab, how many overnights did you get while you were at ABE? would you say a lot or very few?
