Rumors of more routes out of Omaha or rumors of opening a different base? Just curious.

At the moment, the rumor with the most substance involves moving a base in the midwest.

The only "official" news lately is that they're grounding the Learjets.

Read the communique about the Lear Jets, a shame. I find it incredulous that we were unable to make the passenger charter division a viable entity. There are many charter operators that fly similar equipment that make a living-why can't we?

Really, and you'd think BUR would be a hot spot for that kind of business.

BUR is a hot spot for that, but the difference between the direct operating cost and the "going hourly rate" for a LR35 is very mnimal with the fuel prices being high. With a lot of competition in that size aircraft it makes it hard to compete and still make a buck.

It's official, they're starting service out of SDF.

Oct 6. A 1900 from somewhere in PA to SDF, And CVG is moving down to SDF but who knows when.

Wouldn't be Dubois and/or Bradford would it? I did that run a few times in the Metro during peak. Good times.

 

[lifesabeech]

They're looking for an ACP in PHX? What happened to R?

 

[Joblio]

Does that mean that the CVG/SDF base is going to go back to scheduled, rather than ad hoc? Lucky them, if so... the on demand business at AMF is no fun.

Its' going to Middletown, PA. And it sounds like they still plan to do plenty of adhoc business.
