Colgan Crashpad
Just wondering if there are crashpads available at some of Colgans bases. I hear that they do out and backs, so for a commuter this sucks, and a crashpad is needed. Thanks in advance, just wondering if commuting is even possible with Colgan.

great
Hey, whats a typical monthly bid look like, 5 days on 2 off, or 4 and 3, just wondering, thanks in advance. Typical call out time? Early? Thanks. OH and typically speaking how big of month can you bid. ie 75hrs or 90hrs. Work rules pretty good? I've searched and it seems like people go, get thier time and move onto better things. Sounds like a good plan.

I have been told Colgan is a decent place if you live in base. Commuting can make your QOL a little tough.
The bids are all a little different depending on the base. Morning lines have longer hours generally. So it is not uncommon to work 4 on with 3-4 off. About 14 days off in a month on that schedule. Not too bad. That is a good line. Eve shift at the same base can be more like 4-5 on with 3-4 off. Less hours each day so you can work more consecutive days.
Hope this helps.
When the bids come out for April I will ask my friend there to tell me more details.
