Get whatever's in your panties out, wash rinse, and put them back on...He said something funny, I thought it was funny. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said he was a funny guy. He really said something funny.
I have yet to bash this thread. Never will. It's an interesting topic and I have the right to comment if I'd like.

I hope it's a good thing too, but for those of us in the first few classes I think we had some good timing.

:I was at the job fair 5/3/2012. Overall, a positive experience. Video was well made. All questions were answered. There was some discussion about new routes, which will be contingent on a mainline code share. It seems that there are more flying opportunities than their system can absorb. Hiring numbers that I recall, were up to 80 additional pilots by year end, if certain new routes materialize.

Because mainline outsourced the flying to Colgan, they paid Colgan to do the flying. With Silver it sounds like a code share where Sylver will assume all costs and share revenue with the mainline by the mainline selling tickets on Silver aircraft. Slapping a United code on that flight, there is a difference between code share and outsourcing to a regional!!!

All Colgan SAAB flying was at-risk. Colgan set all ticket prices, paid for fuel, landing fees.
We couldn't make money with the cost of fuel.
Good luck.

So Colgan sold the tickets on their website? Did Colgan fly their own colors or the mainlines. United, Delta and US Aiways outsourced the flyig to Colgan (the contract was at risk but still was outsourced). By the sounds of it Silver wants to fly their own colors and "code share" just like GLA!

Mainline partners did not outsource Saab flying.

Colgan operates as if they are an independent airline assuming all costs with the flying and the aircraft fly under the Colgan livery. Colgan then creates a basic code-share agreement with mainline United and US Airways. Us Airways and United use their code share to help sell tickets on the Colgan flights and thus United and US airways get a cut of the profits that Colgan makes from the code-share flights. This is different from what you would call Fee-for-departure or outsourced flying right? And, wouldn't this be a more respectable business model from a pilot perspective?
