Colgan Question

greaper007 · November 27th, 2006, 18:35

I'm just curious, what are the pass benefits for employees and dependents at Colgan? Do they extend to the mainline flights?

If you are in the Houston system you get benefits on Continental. I'm not familiar with those. If you are on the east coast you get benefits on US Airways and United.

US Airways - Free domestic travel for employee, spouse, and dependants. Parents have to pay a fee.
United - Everyone pays a fee based on mileage for each leg on mainline flights. Express flights are free.

Do the Beech guys only get USair bennies?
(since all 1900's are US)

Yes, but I have been told they are the best out of any US airline out there. Also you can jumpseat on pretty much any airline. We also have ID90 agreements with everyone out there for the rest of the family.

If you can be bumped by someone of higher seniority at the last minute.....second best. Granted, US Air is still better than the crappy NWA benes. Although, they did get rid of the $50/year per person deal starting in Jan. Mainline employees can ride coach for free, but not PCL/Mesaba. At least, not yet. Maybe we'll get that, too.....

From GATechs post they sound the same as the ones I get through Comair.

Actually on American West Metal it is first come first serve. On Airways East it is seniority.
