Air Cargo Carriers Bases

[timeless]

FAR or CYYG will now be the easiest base to get. ACC has a FAR-CYYG run listed on their website. I'm not sure where the crew will be based, but either base would be pretty rough. Brutal cold, dealing with customs 10 times a week all for about 40 hrs a month. I think the penalty box just moved from JVY to FAR.

I do pity that poor soul. I think Fargo was founded to be a penalty box. Its just that no one ever told the people there that they could leave when their time was up.

 

[OzBushWhacker]

Believe it or not but someone bid for it. I think 2 people were interested in it. Might be more scenic than other parts.

Could be worse, could be spending the night across the southern border everynight...

I used to drive a truck from Grand Forks to Winnipeg once a week. It is not scenic up there. It is flat, treeless and cold. The guys that bid for it must be some former UND grads that wanted to get back up there.

By looking at the schedule it looks like the run would almost have to be based in Winnipeg. Free health care and 18 year olds at the bar can't be all bad. Go Blue Bombers. Sh!t, where did the Jets go.

And that is in the summer time. Glad I didn't draw that straw during my tenure.

Did you used to work at the Winnepeg welcome centre or what? Geez. Way to kill it man.

From what i understand, its based in Winnipeg and overnight in Grand Forks. For me its like a choice of being based in Tibet or China.

The only saving grace is its a DHL run. Couldn't fathom dealing with the brown menace every night trans-border. Then again tazers are approved in Canada.

I have flown most of the routes the only thing I can say is:

LIFE IS GOOD OUTSIDE THE HUB!!!

And if you can score a DHL run life is even sweeter!

Did ALPA blacklist ACC jumpseaters?

 

[AlphaSierra01]

So exactly where are all of ACC's current bases?

 

[737Wannabe]

Do u guys know of any bases in OH? I know they fly into a few places here. CVG, LCK, LUK, BKL, CLE,...?

 

[Birddog]

I think LCK is the only OH base. Who in their right mind wants to stay in OH, though, when you could be in Beckley?

 

[Captain Morgan]

I saw that they had a 14 on 7 off schedule for the charter flying. Where are you based for that flying? How much money do you make? Thanks.

[737Wannabe]

I know, I know...key word here being "right mind"

 

[AlphaSierra01]

So does anyone know where all of their bases are? It only lists a few of them on their website.

 

[texarkana]

FAT, SBA, PDX, BKW, CRW, IND, DNV, ASW, LCK, SDF, HSV, DHN, MYR, GSP, SAV (i think) and Winnipeg. The charter operation isn't doing much these days other than repo-ing planes around for mx, and covering runs for broke planes. You are home based, getting to work can require creativity at times. FO pay ~25K, CA pay ~40-45K.

 

[OzBushWhacker]

"Creativity" i love it!

I'd say getting home from the rotation is where the creativity comes into it. If you can't get to work its not a major concern, at least for me anyways.

 

[JetSpeed219]

I never had trouble getting to work to start a rotation, it was always getting home that was a struggle. Funny how it works out that way.

Did ALPA blacklist ACC jumpseaters?

I haven't heard this...Good question....I'd also like to know!

[OzBushWhacker]

No. They are more interested in how they are going to keep their members' jobs after various mergers play out.

Now go back playing with your lego.

Now go back playing with your lego.

Ahhhhh, jealousy....and in your best radio voice/grammar, too!
