Colgan Airlines AND Texas
 

Hey guys I am interested in Colgan but really want to stay in the Texas area... is the Texas area considered desirable? Is it hard to get into the Texas area (Could I get Texas as a new hire)? Do they fly the 1900 out of Texas? Thanks all!

Both IAH and TYR were (are) short FOs. Colgan South only operates SF34.

been hearing that guys have been sent to texas out of class, even ones that would have preferred every base besides down there...

That's true - wasn't somebody down there even wanting the East coast?
IAH right now is probably most junior for F/O's;
Though you may get one of those J towns that nobody wants!!!
Good Luck - BCD

put in with a regional over colegan. Not to bash them or anything it's just that with the hiring mins the same now why not take a jet. I know tons of guys that never left texas. I'll be one of them.

I agree right now i don't know why anyone would go to Colgan. A year or two ago I thought it would have been a great fit. Now there mins. are the same as with all other regionals, if not higher, and upgrade has increased a bunch if my info. is accurate. I hope that Mr. Colgan lowers his mins. again down to 50 ME, i'll be all over it then, but if i need 100 then i'd just go somewhere else.

Why would Chuck lower his minimums again? He is getting pilots with the current posted minimums.

Colgan is a bottom feeder, I know this, I work here.

Colgan is a TRUE regional airline. As where ExpressJet, Comair, etc are not. Don't get me wrong, I want to go to one of those airlines.

Point is, they do not need to lower their minimums again. Do you really want a 350/50 FO flying a fully loaded Saab 340? I don't.

no but 1000/50 i think would be pretty safe

1000/50 in a Colgan SAAB or BEECH safe....???

sh!t nobody is safe in a colgan saab or beech...


i think they only thing that keeps them flying is the fact the MEL stickers holds the sh!t together

Amen, brotha!
