Colgan...cut out of IAH???

[Superpilot92]

When was Skywest originally supposed to be out of Houston? I thought they were already supposed to have been out but have been covering for Colgan. Does anyone know when that was supposed to have happened?

I agree with you 100% no one can do it better than XJT...

You guys seriously need to get over yourselves.

No one said anything bad about the pilot group at Colgan. Sorry i am sure he didnt mean to hurt your feelings.

For starters, rumorhasit isn't a pilot for XJT. Secondly, yes, we do pride ourselves on the quality of our operation. Why? Because it is one of the best out there and is hopefully our ticket to continued business and prosperity with CAL.

So i guess the 50 seat saabs are going to just do the routes the 34 seat saabs are doing? Strong rumor that colgan is going to follow in the footsteps of jetblue and airtran with the saab 2000. It will feature tv's in all seat backs that provide 10 different channels of porn. Ron Jeremy will be stickered on the sides of the airplane with a smile. They wanted elton john but they needed something original. Also, ron jeremy will be teaching future saab flight attendant classes.

hmm that could be right. I think that my brothers ex girlfriends sisters friends cousin overheard some guy in an airport bar saying something like it.

Skywest is supposed to be out July 1. Every month Colgan has been adding about two aircraft to gradually enter the system. So in theory July 1 is when Colgan we be completely flying those routes. It is Rumored though CAL wants Colgan to fly a few more routes and add a few more airplanes which will be fun to watch.

It's an infrastructure problem at Colgan and a culture problem. "Do as much as possible with as little as possible". I see it every day.

Colgan Air: We do Less with Less.

Amen Neal.

I honestly feel that XJT is simply one of the best RJ flyers in the industry. This goes beyond the pilots. Our MX is incredible--- in my 6 months online I have seen a total of 4 MELs. And none of which were more than 2 days old. Just the other day I observed 2 mechanics ground an airplane when it was a marginal decision (windshield de-lamination-- apparently there is a certain amount permissable)

The pilot group really tends to work hard to get things done in a safe and professional manner. And our Work rules are better than a bunch of majors!

As a pilot who knows that 2007 can bring some degree of uncertainty-- We need to do everything in our power to make sure the product that our company provides is beyond compare to any one. Right now I feel pretty secure in saying that right now... Put XJet against Mesa, CHQ, Skywest I guarentee we provide a superior product. This is not meant as a dig towards pilots of those other airlines it is just that with a motivated pilot group ; soon to be 274 airplanes with 3000 pilots, and a system that we have been flying in for the past 20 years (in some cases), I think we have pretty much optimized our operations.
