Technically, Colgan is being assigned routes by CAL that were previously operated by XJT. Can't "take away" what XJT didn't originally own. Just like Mesaba and Compass aren't "taking" flying from Pinnacle.
Some guys over here are seeing this as another slap in the face to the PCL pilots. We've gotten the "we don't have any money to give you that" numerous times, then we get 31 CAs displaced to FO when we're having to JM guys to cover what we have, then we hear they're trying to outsource our PCs and PTs to non-seniority list sim instructors and now PCL decides to finance Q400s with loans rather than deal with the mess they've already got.
No offense to the Colgan pilots. Just wanted to say that us on the 9E side are starting to feel like second class citizens since management seems hell bent on growing Colgan while shrinking us.
