can we change our mind back after the $100 is received?

Ha!

It might have been fair and equitable if there weren't such windfall type conditions and restrictions.

How do you figure it was a windfall?:confused:

There isn't a single plane left on property that was operated by pre-merger Colgan. Yet at least half of the pre-merger pilots from Colgan are still captains. If that isn't the definition of a windfall then what is?

I'd call that a good presentation by the Colgan Merger Committee.

I call it a good job.....

It is a windfall. Having a one-way fence where Colgan is protected to 193 CA seats on the Q and no XJ/9E can bid those, meanwhile Colgan Q CAs can bid to the RJs and keep reducing their quota number of 193 as they come off the Q400 onto jets. If this cycle continued and the Qs stuck around, you'd have a constant flow where current Q Captains at Colgan bid over to the jets, and they could only be replaced by Colgan FOs because the quota of 193 wouldn't be met.

That's a windfall, pure and simple. A one-way fence for no reason. And it wasn't a good presentation by the Colgan committee, it was the 9E committee that completely f'ed up and Bloch punished the 9E group by keeping them off the Qs AND the Saabs, since 9E pretended like all the Saabs didn't exist. Idiots.

Yes, I stand corrected, a great job by the CJC Merger folks.

From what I remember it wasn't a one way fence. Colgan needed to have 193 Captain slots but if we got more Q's then those slots would have been opened to ANYONE. Remember at the time of the talks, the Q was the next greatest thing since sliced bread for PCL Corp.

They are some real stand up guys. I owe them a beer.
