Is it likely that Colgan will pull out of some current bases because the SAAB cannot go into them? It looks like AUG will be going through an expansion (additions of overuns) in order to get the SAAB 340.
Colgan SAABS

It is not so much because of the runway length, but the crash fire rescue located at the airport.
I think AUG will most likely will go Saab sometime, as well as BHB and RKD. Those are lucrative routes for us in the summertime, we would make a killing with the Saab. The problem is RKD and BHB need a rescue boat.
How long have you been at Colgan?

I wish I was at Colgan. I'm a CFI up there right now but I know the Colgan guys based there. I think it would be awesome to see the SAAB 340 in there as that's where I'd want to be based, but even if outstation basing goes away BOS would be awesome too.

Put your application in. You NEVER know. We need pilots badly. Are you from AUG originally? We also have the Saab up in PQI or 'the county' as they refer it to I guess.
I have to get these Maineisms down. I'm going to be based there shortly!

The total time is coming really fast with teaching so I'll be at 500 probably by the middle of the summer. The multi time is coming along too so I don't think it'll be that much longer.

Ha, yeah I will be based there soon...will be doing a two legger to EWR, should be fun
! We should grab a beer at Margaritas sometime. Where is the nightlife there? I heard The Marketplace??? There are another few Mainers here. OldTownPilot and Captain Bob have roots from Maine.
Seriously, put an application in. Just make sure you are instrument current and have studied the company.

PQI to BOS, no plans to bring that run down to EWR.

PQI also does a turn from BOS to SYR right? As for nightlife you gotta go to Portland. Everywhere else is a drag.

I figured they must because I noticed an afternoon flight (4960 - 4961) that works into their schedule. I also noticed that SYR just recently started BOS flying as well. Must be kind of nice to be able to mix up the day a little bit.

A rare luxury around here! It's definitely nice to be able to do more than just turns to a single airport.

I see you are out of ABE. Do you get to do both U.S. Airways and United or just fly for one carrier?

We so need to have a party up here in Maine once mark arrives.
Have you figured out a crash pad yet? Do you still need a car?
I lost my cell charger, so if you called, well I dont know about it.
Margaritas is cool if there is one in AUG, other than that your night life is an hour away in Portland.

Well, we fly both sides.....or at least we did before they yanked the Airways plane out of ABE. Now it's just United to IAD.

That's too bad. I take it the Airways plane went to the PIT or Ohio flying.
