Default Colgan Q400's?

I hope this isn't true but I saw a rumor where Colgan lost the EWR Continental contract. Anyone at Colgan hear this? I hope this is only a rumor.

Almost certain thats not true. Seggy was just at a meeting the other day, and we heard some good news about the Beech phase out. Lets just say by November, possibly even sooner, Seggy and I might be in transition training for the Q.

Well that's good to hear. Didn't make any sense so I figured I'd ask you guys. When are more of the Beeches headed? I know good old 220CJ is already gone. hehe I remember staying all night at the FBO with the mechanics who drove 4 four hours from HYA to fix that thing more than once.

I don't think ours are from Horizon. From what I've heard, ours will be factory new and it's 10 the first year, with an option for an additional 15 in 2009.

Horizon will not be selling any Q400's anytime soon. Management loves them. They make alot of money even with maintenance issues. Basicly within 400 nm they are as quick as a CRJ(Block time within about 5 min give or take), hold 4-6 more passengers than the CRJ700, and burn half the amount of gas.

speaking of q400's, any of you other colganites remember where they posted the list for who's going to the q400? I looked on creweb and the other site, but couldn't find it. I'm trying to figure out who is leaving for the q400 and from where, so i have an idea what bases will have vacancies. If you find it, shoot me a pm. thanks
