Default New Chief Pilot at Colgan

Well I just got off the weekly conference call and Bill Hohnan (spelling) is officially the new Chief Pilot.

I thought Dean B was the new chief pilot???

Tom Brink, the former chief pilot passed away a few days ago.

DB got promoted. Sorry to hear about Tom. I didn't know him, but very sad, nonetheless. RIP....

I was sad to hear about Tom's passing as well, I did not know him personally but knew of him through the company. I wish his family all the best.

I could have bet that Bill would have taken over. I was just talking to him maybe five days ago and he was talking about how he didnt want it but the tone didnt seem to match what he was saying. I would have bet money on probably him or Moberly.

Really too bad about Tom though, he had just retired only a few short weeks before he passed. I met him a few times and he was always a great guy and very personable and understanding.

I asked about it Brett and Capt Hohnan said it was his first day on the job and he hadn't been briefed on it yet. He did give out his personal number though and said to call next week. He also asked for more participation with the conference calls.
