I remember reading FlyChicaga's write up about his journey becomming a pilot. One thing that has always stuck with me is what he wrote... (this might not be completely correct) "If anyone has wondered if they could become an airline pilot, the answer is a resounding "YES!!" ." I couldn't agree more. I'm very excited for CJC training. Anyone else going to that class? | |

| Re: Colgan! Congrats, Smittey- welcome to the suck! Oh- and you're right... Aviator's Duchesses in August ARE a good taste of things to come on the Colgan line.. wait'll you get to LaGuardia in July. "Hey- do you have to pay extra for the air conditioning?" - Beech 1900 Passenger. Next time, I'm taking up a collection. Heh. |

Yeah.....that was .  LGA management won't allow us to run an engine while we're at the gate. As a result, the time between boarding and pushing to a spot where we can spin #2.....the plane gets uber-hot. That's even if we had ground a/c hooked up. From the time they disconnect the a/c and get us out can be a ridiculously long time depending on how well the ramp crews are working that day. It really isn't a very good situation for the pax, unfortunately. Then, once we get #2 running, we try our best to cool everything down. If we're full....it's tough. Some of the planes a/c packs work much better than others. Most of the time, the cabin doesn't cool off until we're at cruise.  | ||

| Re: Colgan! I don't understand how they'll let us spin #2 at the gate to cool it down, but shut it down for push. Its one thing I miss about IAD, no actually thats the only thing... oh yeah and Potbellys, can't forget Potbellys
