New hire in progress! 135 freight is coming back!

 

[landlover]

how long is the upgrade for the dc9?

 

[fleaflickerjoe]

I hear they are to take delivery of new aircraft soon!

Good luck to everybody! But really, auto freight has been on a (minor)
roll for the past year and a half...

I have it on good authority that the owner is looking at either MD-11s or 777s for a new government contract.

What are the mins for new hires going to be if they get MD-80's or 737's?

Wachendorfer and widebodies? Why not, probably want to pay the guys Falcon rates and keep them on the road for a month at a time.

Wasn't too long ago that 747's were a sure thing!

From what I hear they are still in the midst of legal troubles over the loss of a 20 series in Mexico a few years back. And D.O.D. there is no way, TW has money but there are far better places to build time. Look at there accident record and really think about it. I lost a good friend in Ithica NY.

I've had several friends that have at one time or another, worked for Ameristar. Mind you that each of them is under 32 and are a pround owner of a full head of grey hair. Both of them have been in multiple situations where they almost lost their lives. And as av16 already attested to, they've lost several aircraft in South Texas and Mexico in the last couple years. Keep your distance.
