Default Colgan!

A little late, but I thought I would make the announcement. I had my first day of class today, and am really excited to be a part of things around here. There's a really positive vibe going around, think the q400's are a good sign of things to come.

Special thanks to seggy for all the help with the interview prep. Now comes the hard part, I hear systems is tough!

With the Q400's on order, I hear a lot of pinnacle guys arent happy because it is a total violation of their contract....Is this wrong or is the union looking to take pinnacle to court?

Congrats man. Welcome to the family.

What's tough about systems is not falling asleep if Vic is your instructor...

Just remeber, you will "display your vastly increasing and superior knowledge of SAAB operating systems in a cold dark airplane"
Have fun and good luck!

We arent happy, but we are mad at Management, not Colgan pilots.

Everyone in my class got the saab, don't think they are hiring for the beech right now.

Training has been good so far, I know it's only 2 days, but it is exciting to be at the next level. I think a lot of it will be going in everyday with the right attitude.

Ditto what Blee said. It's not the pilots' fault, it's management. This isn't the right thread to discuss it, though. There's one in progress over in the Gen Topics if anyone wants more info.
