Arguing against 9E's class date of hire (versus sim date) AFTER hearings closed on April 15. Yeah, sounds really stand up don't they.

More Qs? There were never any more Qs planned. Especially not after Colgan planted one in BUF.

About the Qs... That came from PT and his flying circus and we can see how well that clown did with this airline :rolleyes:

Parking the Q's wasn't planned either.

It was a merger, and stuff happens.

Actually it was planned to about 70 Q's.

We also took delivery of Q's (15 or 17) after BUF.

The next batch of q's was from an RFP after BUF. If you don't believe me ask te expressjet guys that couldn't believe you could crash a plane and get more continental flying. They were ****ed.

Let me rephrase. There was no plan for Colgan to get any more Qs after the BUF crash, beyond the initial order, once the merger process started. We simply didn't have the people to do it and the money loss had already started.

Q's?......

U do realize there are maybe 200-250 Colgan CAs that went over to the 9E side? Probably less than that when all is said and done.
