I interviewed on the 3rd and have heard nothing. I know at least two people have gotten the call and at least one person has received a rejection.

Shirley you can't be serious? And yes, I'm calling you Shirley.

Not too long ago, you were complaining about Colgan and their poor pay, work rules and next thing is you applied a month later. If you go back and read your own previous posts you will be surprised. Also didn't you send your resume at GLA?

If I were to loose my job today Colgan/Great Lakes and others wouldn't even be on my job prospect radar. I'd probably just go back to school and get a fall back career.

I might not have been in 121 long but I have a long family history in 121. My sister flies for Alaska, brother in law is a mech for Delta, and Dad is a retired United Capt and former KC-135 driver flew "in country" aka Vietnam. At one point he was furloughed and we had to get on food stamps!!! He's a college grad and former AF pilot, we had to rely on government assistance for about 10 months. I've seen and lived through their experiences in 121.

Actually, I just got the call. March class is full, but I am in the pool for an early April or early May class.

I don't think you put a smile on his face. He is disappointed that GLA didn't call him for an interview. But he is is at Colgan now. Apparently he worked at Horizon. Must be a fun person to fly with.

Sounds like staffing is starting to catch up since they're losing all the MT flying, the MKE flying, possibly GRI if Eagle gets it, and all the MCI flying is gone now. Wonder what they'll lose next.
