How long has it taken from the time you submit your airlineapps and email the [email protected] address, to the time you receive the call/email about setting up an interview? It seems like it takes several weeks over at Eagle.

To the other's who have answered some of my questions... I talked with Chuck today, and sounds like I will have a good chance of getting to interview for the next round. I sent my mom's discharge papers, and he was very nice about it all. Seems like a very personable guy.

I had applied with Colgan late last year - just an e-mail application. Chuck sent me an e-mail back then saying they would contact me later with information. So if I really look at the entire thing, it really was about 3 months. They sent me an e-mail on a Friday asking me to update my airlineapps information. I did that, and they replied back (within about 20 minutes) that they would review my information. They sent me a phone number on the next day, but that was the same day we had to rush my mom to the hospital.
Right now, they are not as rushed as they were then. They were trying to set up interviews within a matter of days. This time they have a couple weeks to review and organize things. I'm thinking that it may be towards the end of this month before they start interviews again, or.... I'm just thinking out loud here, but they may interview as the first class approaching the half way mark.

All you who are interested in working at Colgan, please pay attention to the hearing tomorrow and really think about what they say about how this place operates. Its not doom and gloom or anything, they're going to tell it how it is and it would behoove you to look at it from a very level headed perspective, not rose colored glasses, and really make sure this is the place you want to be.

Ok thats two people that worked here. I know that things could be better, thats for every airline. I know we get paid crap but Im sure that will change eventually. Theres still 437 pilots here that deal with it. The way you make it seem is like we are all horrible pilots and we arent good enough to have lives sitting behind us. Remember all pilots got the same ratings before going to 121. Then you can say low timers work for Colgan... Not just colgan, every other regional hired low guys! Everyone. And the Frontline isnt just pointing at Colgan. Its talking about the regionals as a whole.
All of this, btw, is not going to be coming from crewroom rumor, angry pilots, or message boards.... its going to be coming from the National Transportation Safety Board.
The quality of this airline is not the fault of the pilots who work there, but it is not an environment that one should blindly choose to enter... you really have to take an objective look at all of the information, good and especially bad.
