I don't know if that was directed at me, but you'll never see me refer anyone to Colgan unless they are begging me to come work here. I've already aired my thoughts on this place. Others have different views/opinoins about working here and there is nothing wrong with that. Me personally, I don't like the overall working conditions and treatment from the company. When I bid and am awarded say 12 days off in a month, I expect that I get those 12 days off a month. Not called while on duty and drafted for my off days in West Va. with no rental car and hotel.
Misery loves company, I believe that, but thats not the case at all with me. It just amazes me some of the stuff Colgan gets away with and how they treat their employees. If me being honest and airing out the laundry deters someone from coming here, then good.
On the other hand, if fellow pilots are thrown out on the street, well then Colgan is better than no job. Its like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get. I would suggest Big Sky pilots look at a place like Mesaba or one of the better companies out there. Thats just my opinion.
But Seggy offering to help guys out, thats noble and being a stand up guy. For Seggy, Colgan isn't that miserable, but his perception isn't the same as everyones. I think he's doing a good thing by offering to walk resumes in. I would do it too if someone *really* wanted to work here.
