Colgan ?????
 
How is the QOL at Colgan? Management? Bases?

KiloAlpha 02-12-2007 09:52 AM

Could be great, could be among the worst in the industry. It just depends on your goals and expectations.

Here I'll translate this:

"If you have low expectations, QOL will be great. If you have high expectations, QOL will be low."

:D

or you could be a total cynic like fosters. My QOL really sucks. I'm home everynight, off 16 days this month, and just over 100 hrs pay credit. Some ppl get screwed without cause. The majority that get hosed at colgan let it happen to themselves.

This is the most absurd post I have ever read, EVER! I was shorted pay numerous times, Had my days off taken away, and never returned to me (NEVER AT XJT, Thanks to ALPA). Have flown part 91 after 8 hrs of flying 121. Have slept in hangers in sub zero temperatures, the list goes on and on, yes some have it better than others, my experience was awful, ABE was slightly better than ALB, but whatever you do, I urge you to stay far far far far far far far far away from a MX base. I am not syaing this is how COLGAN treates all of their pilots, but I myself and my buddy FLAVA FLAV up in ALB ;)

DMEarc 02-13-2007 07:29 AM

Saab why did your stay at ALB? Your number could have held a decent line at another base?

You say QOL was bad, it could only have been better at another base. Maybe Jamestown?

I've talked to some Colgan 1900 pilots in ALB and they say you're an absolute tool, so maybe it wasn't all Colgan. Maybe you thought you were better than CJC.

DME - you forget - seniority doesn't count at Colgan (according to some). [/sarcasm]

Right...

Look, he could have bid another base. He didn't...now he's taking it out on CJC management.

Don't talk to me about QOL either. You're a Saab FO, girls aren't impressed, so you shouldn't have a social life, and you don't have the money to go anywhere's anyway!

Your funny, I didnt know any Beech guys, go ask the SAAB CA's we had a blast, " I talked to the beech guys" what a joke.

The only Beech guy I have ever talked to in ALB was the FO who had to go down to the Brain Factory with his lawyer to get his paycheck, yeah theres a class act airline.

Why dont you go ask Mike W, Gill B, Falvio C, Paul, & James what they thought about me. If your going to lie you have to come up with something better than " I talked to the Beech guys"............thats sad, just plain sad


The sad part is you are defending an airline that treats its pilots like slaves, when has your company ever gone to bat for you???????? I know when they bust guys on their PC's becuase they had the balls to stand up to the poor management at COLGAN, Sad thing is you are comfortable at Colgan makin 40 bucks and hr as CA, goodluck with yuor future sounds pretty bright

My company doesn't even operate Saabs.

Disregard if the above wasn't meant for me! :)

If it's meant for Mr. SAAB, I think he's at XJT now.

I know, it was a reply to you, but the sub-post was directed towards him.

I talked to one beech guy, he said your were a tool.

Colgan sucks, but it isn't what you say it is. You had the chance to make it better and you stayed in a Mx base where you were extremly junior. What sense does that make?

I just transferred to IAH.

I have 15 days off a month, overnight evernight I'm on a trip, no part 91, deadheading or ferry flights. The pay is rediculous. I hate the pay, but the flying is fun and the saab is classic.

My point is you had it terrible...no one is denying that. But you had the chance to make it better and you didn't. You made your bed now sleep in it.

Ok once agian the only Beech guy I knew hated COLGAN more than myself, so dont tell me that anybody else up there in ALB thinks I am TOOL, first off all, anybody that uses the term TOOL is an idiot anyway I was on the SAAB so once again I only knew SAAB guys and I doubt they thought I was a "TOOL" becuase I drank with them, did the BAR-B-Q thing etc........

I also did leave ALB, I went to ABE which was slightly better, but the Company stayed the same, I don't think I ever said anything bad about the SAAB, I personally loves the thing. I have been at Expressjet 3 months second year FO pay will probably make more than a 1st year CA at COLGAN, I understand PIC is PIC, however 1,000PIC just gives false hopes of moving on.

Well I am glad we can agree on something:p

I knew that was coming, what is sadder than me using the term tool is that you actually looked it up, so that means that you are a tool as well, and an obnoxious one at that, hey why do you waste your time on here are you even 121?

fosters 02-13-2007 08:15 AM

I retired @ 18 - trust fund baby!!!

JoeyMeatballs 02-13-2007 08:15 AM

I bet....................

fosters 02-13-2007 08:19 AM

Na, I work for a living. I wish I retired at 18. If I did, you can bet I would be on some island in the caribbean doing island chicks all the time, not on here making you look stupid.

JoeyMeatballs 02-13-2007 08:22 AM

wow goood one, and i doubt you would be able to get laid regardless of how much money you had

Are you kidding? Money buys anything. Look at Gates, Buffet, Ana Nicole Smiths' 89 year old husband, etc.

You could be the ugliest SOB but if you roll up in a Ferrari and you've got T&A all up in your junk.

Gates?????????? Anna Nicole smith isnt, or should I say wasnt that good looking, money may help but unlike you I am able to attract the oppsit sex with my good looks & charm, oh and the fact that I am an Airline Pilot haha

But, my point was that even if you are old, geeky, or fat, you can still get ass if you have money. No where in my post did I stipulate supermodel material.

Well your right about that, you should see these mommalukes, in HOBOKEN, young guys, very ugly, but they most work in the Financial Industry and do well cause their g/f are super hot, these brazcholes look like weiners, but they have M5's and hot g/f so yeah does help
