Amen!

Dan I am a better man and pilot for having known you and flown with you! You always lived life to it's very fullest and not just anyone can say that. You continue to be an inspiration to me in so many aspects of my life and will certainly be missed. I will never forget you!

Your Sundance Brother,

Ryan

I just heard about this. As an ex freight dog, a pilot and as a friend, I want to say I am very sorry for your loss. I don't know what else to say except that if you need anything, please pm me.

Fly Safe,

Soon Ameristar's luck is gonna run out. The FAA will and probably already sees a pattern here.....a lear crash almost every two years.....Hope they would look into AJI's SHODDY maintenance.....

Ameristar may be facing other problems. I am even getting Ameristar resumes, there may be a mass exit in process?

I think the mass exit has been happening all year here. Since I started over a year ago, we've gone from +70 pilots down to about 28. Now we have as many airplanes as pilots on the 135 side.
It's like I said on another thread: there are better paying jobs, with better schedules, better airplanes, and better treatment available to us now. I don't know what they're gonna do. They can't seem to hold onto the new guys who are still under contract either.
