Colgan was one of the cheapest craphole outfits in the air. The problem was the management at Pinnacle was even more incompetent than the Colgan family. Mesaba was a decently run middle of the road costs operation that suffered the same fate, sold to morons in Memphis to be used as a pawn in Delta's game.

And I know a dollar or two extra was spent on XJ SF-340 Til they were parked which was very shortly after Jcba
It was mismanaged.

I laughed the whole conference. when asked questions he would just say trust me. Then he tried acting like he was tough and standing up to American, it was funny to hear him talk Puerto Rican gangster. If they were To put the fact sheet out from his conference call it would have to be redone. Hey express jet just so you know your not hiring at all, disregard those pilots you see going through your training program right now they don't exist according to pedro.

Exactly. I'd rather fly a turboprop for 30K a year with a free commuter hotel and a 2 year upgrade than sit RSV at Eagle for the carrot of a flow. They are betting the farm that this flow through agreement will have people beating down the door and I'm not so sure. This could turn out to be one expensive miscalculation if they are wrong.

It was interesting to see their application stats.
First week of Jan 2014 zero.
Then it ramped up to 62 ish a week after the AIP announcement then nose dived after the MEC no vote. hehe
Someone asked if the people applying actually met the mins. Then there is the issue of whether you believe them or not.

Not necessarily a bad thing, just not the great thing it is being made out to be and certainly not worth concessions.
They should offer improved flow as a way to attract new hires with zero concessions attached. If anything Eagle pilots should be getting a raise.
