4 of 5 AUG Captains leaving in the next month, 2 of 3 FO's are eligble to transition to another airframe. 2 of 3 ALB CA's are gone, as well. Don't see the system running with 1 CA in ALB, 1 in AUG, 3 in BHB and 2 in BOS.. i'd bet to see 3 in ALB, 4 in BHB.

As of March 31 there will be no more lead Captain in AUG, all duties performed by Station personal . Over the Next two months, 9 Captains leaving for different airframes, Leaving 8? with one check airman. Not sure how they plan on staffing 5 airframes with 8 Crews and 4 bases.

Alb is MX, and will have heard a skeleton Crew there. Bhb will stay for now, as that is the most Profitable in summer time. Bos Prob won't Be around for long, or everything will be moved to that non-existent crew room.

The company plans on hiring 3 1900 Street CA's... from where i have no idea. Not exactly lots of pilots with 1900 types and an ATP just waiting at the door for Colgan. None of the Big Sky direct entry CA's went to the beech.

On top of that, Raytheon just delivered 10 1900's to Saudi Arabia, some were old Colgan planes. They intend to deliver more... Soon. Not sure how many Big Sky planes there were... But when you suddenly find a Raytheon engineer on your plane chatting with you, whom is "just visiting" telling you about delivering planes to far of lands... well:(

Good luck boys... these last 2 Months are going to look like a dream Vacation soon.

Where are you based out of? I've talked with a couple of the AUG captains and they're headed to the Q400. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds. I think they will keep flying into AUG until Nov when they return the last of the Beeches, at least that's what I've heard, but it's going to be difficult without an adequate number of crews.
 
Tuck, that is who I thought it was!

What is going on!!??!? Happy Easter!
