Wasn't Pinnacle going to drop the Colgan name more than a year ago?
Did a hop in one of their Saabs a few weeks ago, it was Colgan operating as United Express. The biggest issue was that the air conditioner operates only when the engine is on, and even then it is underpowered.
The plane came in about 25 minutes prior to departure, and by the time we boarded at 2:30 pm, the temperature inside the cabin was easily 100°F with the shades down. It took about 15 minutes of flight for the temperature to drop a little, and it was still hot when we landed 10 minutes later.
The poor flight attendent was sweating profusely and looked and acted exhausted. Got a look at the pilots later in the terminal, they were in a similar condition. How can anyone keep up performance after a couple of such hops?
