Doug doesn't pick and choose what you get to say. You will not find a more fair person. If you tell him something in confidence, rest assured it will stay that way. He could clear it up in a matter of seconds.

Until then, we have the person who runs this site and is very open, and then we have you a person who appears to be hiding behind the name.

I know where people will lay their money.....

Well I am currently in a "moderated" status, which means what ever I write needs to be approved.
I'm not asking people to choose between me and Doug, he has been very nice to me since i started here, so I will give him the same respect he has given me.
But I am being limited on my ability to speak.

Has Doug told you that you are not allowed to jump into my Q&A session? Dude just grab a couple of my questions and answer them so you don't end up looking like a jealous tug driver. Somone who worked five months, let a lone five years for PJ should be able to breeze through them, I wasn't trying to trip you up.

[amorris311]

shouldnt they be able to breeze through some of them if they only worked there a week?

[Champcar]

If you guys really don't bye into him then ignore him and just let him be.

[kellwolf]

Seems to me the only one picking and choosing what to say is ColganFO. I highly doubt Doug put a gag order on him via PM.

In all honesty, I could have EASILY faked being a SWA FO when I was working on the ramp there. I knew just enough about the goings on to pass. I even had a few friends that were FOs that would answer questions I had. Heck, I even had the door code for the pilot's lounge. If you come on saying you're one thing, then people that work at the same company say "Look, you're not making sense" or "Uh, that's not right" (and it's more than just one or two of them), red flags go up fast. We've been burned before around here wth people pretending to be something their not, and hiding only further reduces your credibility. Then you've got someone that comes out from someone else you say you worked for giving you an opportunity to prove you worked there without giving up who you are or making yourself a "target" at your current employer. And you pass on that as well. What are we supposed to think?

[Doug Taylor]

I threw ColganFO in a moderated status pending my approval because quite frankly, I get about six "He's misrepresenting himself and speaking for Colgan" PM's a day and none of multiple attempts to put the whole thing to rest were fulfilled.

And "someone" keeps showing up trying to re-register... Oh joy.

If I suspect you're a 'troll' you're going into moderated status.

Same IP address, same computer, same typos: "simpleguy", "colganFO", "IAHFO". There are other methods that the software looks for but that's proprietary.

"Simpleguy", the latest wrote this when I asked after he registered and the software alerted me of a possible duplicate:

Aroo?!

Now does anyone else see why cheap, easy-to-get webmail addresses are a pain in the rump?

IAHfo was apparently in Texas, but he was in the Northeast, logging on from the same "cyber cafe" that SimpleGuy chills at, which happens to be... dunt dunt DUUUUUN! the same "cyber cafe" that ColganFO apparently goes to.

Hell, there's a potential networkJC event right there in NY and we didn't even know it!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy......

Doug I would be MORE than happy to put a 'case' together detailing his lies when he likes to talk about the inner workings of the company I work for.

Can anyone help me out as far as QOL, Pay, Upgrade times etc. I have around 1900 hrs total time. I flew a lear 55 in the rite seat for a while till the company went belly up so i went back to flight instructing cause i needed to make payments on school loan.. any info will help.. Hopefully all the anymosity i see here is not actually going on at Colgan.

AWWWW SNAP!!!

[Doug Taylor]

Oh, i forgot, there's a fourth too, but hasn't posted.

I let them run for a bit so I can collect more data, but I'll throw them in a moderated status...

[Kristie]

ColganFO, i do believe you just wore out your welcome.

it's too bad too, we're a bunch of great people to know and you screwed it up. very sad because we really don't like things going down "that" road...it surely doesn't happen often. good luck out there.

[amorris311]

kristie with the kill!

[Kristie]

I'm sorry, but if there's one thing i absolutely hate, it's someone pissing on our living room floor after they were welcomed with warm greetings...and it's not just about doug and I, it's about all of you too... you fine people do not deserve crap like that.

[Doug Taylor]

The reason I get so anal about this junk is the fact that a lot of professional pilots really don't want to deal with crap like this and would rather go watch the ballgame with a beer rather than have to prove he is who he is because of a 'Tomcatter' event.

So when a user misrepresents himself, it makes it harder on the legit people on the website.

Don't think I fly the mad dog? G'head and ask me the most obscure question that you can't find on google and I'll be more than happy to answer it. Play 'stump the dummy' with me ANYTIME!

You're about to push back from the gate and the windshield wiper is stuck in the middle of the window. Instead of waiting for maintenance, how do you fix it?

climb out on the nose stupid dummyhead!!

Oh easy! Grab a bottle of water, pop open the window, pour the water on the windshield and move the switch to the park position...They'll think you're a GENIUS! Wait... Did I talk about this on the site? Waitasecond!
