An Apology to Colgan Pilot on Jetcareers

Not open for further replies.
This is more than some anonymous web board to us. We're not screen-names and online 'personas'. We're real people, who often get together in person. I've had the pleasure of having several members over to my own house! They've seen my house, met my husband (also a JC-er), played with my kids, I've even helped one or two get a job!

Nobody cares that you're young and already flying. There've already been members your age flying. I can think of one who got his start even earlier than you! So you're not that special there ;). We're just leery of someone who demands to remain behind the curtain of complete personal anomynity (though I have to give you kudos for sharing what you have :) ). If you choose to refuse Doug's request, that is your choice. However, then you can't go and say what an unfriendly site we are here, and how you're on the outside looking in.

Anywho. That's it from me..... :)

very well said!!
 
If this guy is not legit then toss him out. Its disrespectful to the JC members who are here to utilize this website for what it is, a place to learn and make friends, some of which could impact our careers. Im greatful for JC and what it has to offer and cant stand when someone comes onboard claiming to be someone they are not. In a way it is an insult.
 
I say that we should offer ColganFO one more opportunity to step up. Either to say publically or in PM that he is a fake and he is sorry. Or to give the name to Seggy or Doug in PM.

Barring that the admins/mods should do their duty. Whatever it is that, that might be. Dunno, just a suggestion!

:yeahthat: but I am willing to bet he is an alright guy IRL, just got off to a bad start on JC and maybe some incorrect thoughts on advancement at an airline.

As stated before (see above) I agree he didn't get off to a good start, but I would hate to see someone leave the forums just because they got started off on the wrong foot. I believe that this will get cleared up shortly, most likely with him PM Doug or someone else.

I'm being preached to about this being a 'public' website, and under the terms and conditions of the site, he shouldn't have to release private information, blah blah blah.

SIGH.

You mean other than his/her resume??? That sure has been shared to death.
 
Oh, I know, which is why I asked the user to speak to me in private message.

I just wanted the ability to tell everyone either "He's LEGIT, give the guy a break!" or "What do you think we are, a bunch of suckas?!" because the issue is tiresome and I've had to spend an inordinate amount of time during a very busy period dealing with it. Grr.
 
When people start buying shares of Jetcareers, THEN it's a public board. :) If it's a PM to Doug, it's purely between the individual and the owner/operator of the web site. Trust me, dude. Doug will keep your stuff confidential.
 
Even if this guy isn't a troll and he indeed does work for Colgan, he's already proven that he's a complete tool. If I were him, I wouldn't let my personal info out either at this point!
 
Wait until everybody finds out I'm really only a Private Pilot with an IRA, I'm afraid of the dark, and I got kicked out of the Air Force after 4 months because I'm allergic to milk . . . :cool:

I agree.

First off, I think some of you have been a little hard on Colgan FO. I've tried to stay out of it. You all got fired up because he posted that he was interviewed for upgrade but less senior than some of us. Does it p**s me off? Sure, but at Colgan, not ColganFO. Come on, all of us at Colgan know that it happens. And it can and will continue to happen as long as we're not a union company (my shameless plug to organize!).

I personally believe he's really a colgan employee based on some of the info that he's posted that only an employee would have known.

But to ColganFO, if you tell everyone who you are, you'll clear all this waste of time crap up and can move on with posting and become a normal member of the community.

As you can see from my avatar, I'm a firm believer in not hiding behind anonymity. If I have something to say that needs to be said anonymously, that's what PM's are for.

Agreed. No hard feelings! Besides, when we all lose our hearing because the saab is too loud, we still need to be able to talk to each other online.
