For all you guys who are dogging Colgan, how dare you call yourselves respectable airline pilots. The biggest problem with ALPA or any other union in this fuqued up industy is he lack of support and brotherhood from FELLOW union members. Man up and support us during this important time, or keep your disdain quietly to yourself. Management is laughing at our disorganization. I'll be the first to congradulate and support ANY pilot groups fight to improve anything. Negotiations are a good thing people.

No, actually I'm not flying anything for Continental.
Secondly, Colgan is flying routes that are, for the most part, less than 400nm and not cost effective with a jet.
Expressjet on the other hand, is technically flying routes that belong to mainline. In the 90's your company grew at the expense of mainline jobs.
I'm not making the above point to berate, but I am sure that the Continental Pilots sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for that callback to work, may feel that your company is staffing their position at a fraction of what their pay should be.

The ignorance spewing from the same 'ol Colgan-hating blowhards is comical. We're making strides towards a better future for us, and the industry, and you ignoramuses can't see the forest from the trees. But for now, continue thinking your regional isn't part of the problem....regardless of what work rules you operate under. I have news for you.....ALL regionals ARE the problem....esp, the jet operators. Any growth at the regional level is at the expense of mainline routes, with a few exceptions.....surprise, those few are almost always turboprop routes....but you haters wouldn't be able to see that either.
Stay classy Colgan haters!

Again......
I only counted four posts out of 55 pertaining to the subject at hand. The regional pilots once again maintain their high standards of posting, both Colgan and others.
