New Colgan Rumot straight from a Colgan

[Cruise]

I'm assuming you mean Saab's since I've heard we are eliminating the 1900's?

Yep Saabs. Beeches will be around for at least another year or so (meaning at least 2 years).

Haha....that's Colgan time. "Soon" in the Colgan world will have you growing gray hair.

Rumot or not, I walked past Joe Gibbs' Saab 2000 on the ramp a few hours ago and it was bad ass!

Cruise, you another Colgan'ite?

I heard the same thing from Dennis about the 1900's. They are on their way out, but it will take a yr or 2 to make it happen. RUMINT has it that we are picking up 10 340's from somewhere, that were former Mesaba planes. They have some sort of A/C unit in the tail that is not an APU, so they will be going to the US side because of the weight. I heard that we secured financing for 3, and that we are waiting for the other 7 to be released ( i guess they are actually owned by pinnacle?). Another plane just came out of heavy check in Nashville, which should help some as far a spares are concerned.

Maybe Rabbit, Maybe!

(sry for the bugs bunny reference)

Those might be the ex-PCL Saabs that have been sitting around since Mesaba sent them back.....

 

[Hootie]

Van Hoolio.....That is a beautiful avatar you have there....I bleed black and gold.

There's a lot of truth to that.

Latest rumot is that Mike Colgan told an FO at HEF that a few days ago we inked the deal with continental to fly Q400's in IAH.

Anyone else heard this?

Funny how CP is still saying CASS is coming in "two weeks" in his conf calls!

I'd be slightly displeased with this if I was still there. Either have it up when you say it will or don't mention a deadline at all.

BTW notice how it's always a FO who was told Colgan supposedly inked a deal...

 

[kellwolf]

Wasn't the deadline for CASS from the TSA Oct 31st, or did Colgan get an extension?

 

[GaTechKid]

I thought that deadline was for the gate computers to show photos? I thought CASS was optional.

 

[surreal1221]

I actually read the Q400 deal over at APC. I won't link, but you guys know how to find it.

I'm going to be the new Chief Pilot of the Beech Fleet.

Yeah, I heard that from an FO at Colgan.
