    my paperwork is in with Colgan

    Well I finally broke and decided to stop dilly dallying around with things and sent in my stuff to fly for Colgan. I tried to avoid it for as long as I could with my eyes on flying for Comair ultimately or PSA but I cannot stand being on the ground. I have been flip flopping around with this stuff for a few weeks now and I decided to at least apply with them. I am bent on moving back to Florida though the end of this year beginning of the following though so it depends. I may just end up looking for a lear gig or a kingair job or somthing to hold me off till I move back to Florida but oh well.

    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    oh yea, good luck with colgan.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Ryan, good luck. I know someone who flew there for a few years and it did lead to something better. Only problem is the pay is crap so it really only works if you have other ways to augment your income or if, as my friend did, you go live someplace cheap (Lebanon NH in this case)...Keep us posted on this...

    I had 5 freinds apply for Colgan recently, all of them on the Saab one on them Beech 1900. The captains sound nice, they fly slow so the F/O can build time and pay. The downside is your not gonna see the class A space for a while. Also alot of people go to Airtran or JetBlue after Colgan.

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    they are looking for some 200+ f/os, and they are the perfect jet transition
