There is a lot of complaining about colgan....work rules, schedules, no per diem. I am guilty of it too. Basically we want colgan to be allegheny. What i think is a sleeper topic on these boards is that colgan growth is coming from flying routes that allegheny used to fly. ROC-LGA, BUF-ALB, SYR-LGA, SYR-BDL? Why do this?...allegheny was far better then colgan....dashs were far superior to the saab. It has an APU, bigger cabin, a few more seats, much quieter. How could replacing an APU aircraft with one without an APU in the northeast please your passengers??? Allegheny crews were far more experienced than colgan crews, both pilots and FA's. Exactly half of colgans list of 200 pilots have less then 2 years seniority. Allengeny was better in every aspect except they had a good contract. Colgan has no contract. We are much cheaper. I am suprised colgan doesn't take more heat on these boards about this. Allegheny pilots don't seem to bash us. May be they have more class? The bashing always seems to be towards mesa and CHQ. May be because people just don't care to talk about props? At this point...is it safe to say that more of the regional pilots on these boards are flying jets then props?? May be colgan doesn't take the heat mesa does because we never voted on being so cheap. Our owner isn't as aggressive as mesas? If we ever did get jets i bet people would become a lot more interested. At one time mesa and CHQ had no jets. The reason colgan is growing and allegheny is shrinking is because of these recent colgan topics about colgan having crappy pay and what not. You just can't have it both ways anymore.
