ACC in IND?

[airspeedsalive]

I've seen a lot of Shorts in IND lately operating at the IAB - I think they are with ACC. Anyone know what they've been doing here? Maybe A new crew base?

Nope, no new crew base. We have 1 Shorts that does a UPS Logistics contract to Des Moines and Rochester, MN 5 nights a week with John Deere parts. Also we have been doing quite a bit of charter from Escanaba, MI to IND and back. I have heard as much as every 2 hours. Wankel7 would be able to elaborate more...

Indeed, we are prob running more flights out of there than ATA

Knocked down 137 hours last month Can't complain about that.

I knew they were going to Des Moines, but Rochester as well? I am ususally hauling my stuff in as they are going out. Where does the crew come from? I know there is a crew base at MWA but I think they run the ABX run out of there.

137 hours?

In my haste to post a reply I totally forgot that the crew that actually does the IND-IKV-RST-IND run is based in IND. Whoops...

All the other flying out of IND lately is on-demand charter. Mabye that clears things up....

Makes sense. I used to get in about 7 and as I was leaving, we would be pretty close together at the line. Now I am a little earlier since the route changed with the time change. Pain in the a**, but at least I get home earlier........
