Default Colgan!

Interviewed on Friday, offered the job today. August 13th- Saab class.

Only company I really wanted to work for.

Times:

520 Total Time
190 Multi
250 Dual Given
105 Instrument
25 Actual Instrument
110 Night
40 Glass

I'm extremely excited. 2 years, 8 months from 0 time to airline job. Thanks JC for everything. I'll be posting an interview experience shortly.

One thing I can't stress enough is how going and getting my CFI's helped. I'm such a more WELL rounded pilot having 250 hours of dual given. It sucks sometimes, but it was an amazing experience. Those of your with 250TT/25 multi- go get the CFI stuff- you'll thank me later.

Probably because I reply to so many Colgan threads.

Thus my point. Plus I think it's pretty lame to save someone's avatar from the same website. I specifically remember finding the picture on google images and editing it to fit this site. I've had that avatar for well over a year.

Sorry for the thread jack. Congrats SmitteyB!

1- Northeast Bases

2- Turboprops

3- Possibility of Ithaca, Binghamton, or Syracuse bases

4- Being part of a pilot group striving to make things better and setting an example for others.

Duh, that's Fletch!! if you haven't seen it, go rent it. It's an older Chevy Chase movie (mid to late 80's, I think), but hilarious.

Just put it on the Underhill's bill...

Oh, yeah, and congrats Smittey!!!!!!
