Colgan Service Reduction

Any guess to how many furloughs are coming with this anouncement from our Buddy? No doubt they will out of seniority, got to keep training costs down.....

Well, the memo says LGA service will "shrink greatly". IAH next? Does this mean no more street captains?

The pro-rated deal with CAL has a mechanism in the contract to adjust rates for fuel. USAirways does not, Colgan went to USAirways pretty much giving USAirways the option of either increasing rates or dropping service.

United has the same sort of agreement... wonder if they agreed to adjust rates or that's just next weeks memo....

Please don't tell me they would furlough out of Seniority order. If they do, thats not only a disgrace, but should be reason enough for a Union. You can tell that to Mr. JW who thinks they dont need a union

We are dropping service out of LGA. Not sure if it is a complete drop of service, but it's significant.

Holy Crap! Not good for any at Colgan or elsewhere. All I got to say if your an eviromentalist and a pilot. You better put down your tofu and start driling for some oil here in the U.S.
