-You have to go through security to get to a crew room.
- Too many doors with alarms on them.

Alright maybe my argument isn't that convincing but I like LGA much better. If you have the choice pick LGA and then in your travels through JFK see if you'd like it better. I'd say 9 out of 10 guys I know would prefer LGA.

Dont forget the LGA employee cafe! Cheap food for starving FOs

$5 for the Chicken Ranch Sandwich. Best deal ever.

It usually can be broken up into two meals. Lunch I and Lunch II.

Do they still have the pizza special? I think it was 2 slices of cheese for $4 on Tuesdays or something.

Alright alright what's going on here...With the latest vacancy bid I was slated to go to OFE on Aug31 but I just looked at my 3* and my eff date in Chicago is now Oct 1st.

This is more than likely due to the **** poor staffing in New York. I know some one asked about any new hires going to JFK but are any coming to LGA???

Last month we had about 20-25ish guys on reserve in LGA...this month we're down to 13 or 14...is this because they unblocked OT? It seems that critical coverage days are every other day now.

On the latest list there are about 100 new hires...granted most are still in training but where are they going?

This is fun!

Mgmt should've allowed FO's already on property to bid the CRJ first. I know what the contract says, but there isn't much movement on the Embraer. Just doesn't seem fair......rant over.

I forgot how much some people read into posts by other members. I was simply implying that if given the opportunity by either airline I would need to look at the pros and cons of each because they both offer something completely different and it can change anyone's career path.

I didn't intend on coming off as an arrogant buffoon. I have a tendency to count my eggs before they hatch. I would like to know which one, if either, I would plan on going to if offered a job at both. If Colgan offers a job they will likely put me in a class within a month, if eagle does the same it may be over 2 months before I start class. I would really like to know that I have made the right decision prior to choosing Colgan and regretting the fact that eagle wanted me as well. Just thinking ahead of the airplane.
