Colgan gets paid somewhere in the ballpark of 2400.00 per departure. After doing the math if CAL fills up the plane it only costs CAL $32 per pax. Pretty good deal for CAL. Sucks for pilots who average $70 per hour (salary, benefits, training) based on that tribune article.

I am sure the cost of 3407 will far outweigh any savings CAL had planned with the Q400, at least for now. I have noticed a lot of Colgan flying in our open time, it is interesting to say the least. I guarantee you, you wont see Q400's doing any flying in Mexico, but I will also tell ya they are not going anywhere in the northeast

Is Colgan on a FPD or CPA with CAL?

FPD = Fargo Police Department, Flame Photometric Detector?

CPA = Certified Public Accountant...I couldn't even find it by googling it.

I'm going to start a movement against GUATNU (Geeks Using Acronyms That Nobody Understands).

Fee per Departure

Capacity Purchase Agreement

Edited, meatballs is 2 minutes ahead of me.

Like, OMG! Are you like, totally FUBAR? Kidding, don't get excited.

Fee Per Departure as opposed to a Capacity Purchase Agreement.

The Q400 is paid per departure, Saabs are on a shared revenue program.

Excuse me, sir.
Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP,
shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT,
because if it leaks to the VC,
he could end up an MIA,
and then we'd all be put on KP.
