Ameristar to buy 747's

[leardawg]

Are you sure they're not buying seven 47s (C-47s that is)?

Now that would make a heck of a lot more sense!!! Finally a miniscule pinpoint of logic in this thread!!!

Thank you ever so much...

First let me say this, I am logged in on a friends acct. I wanted to check out this site for some info. and possibly join. I know many people who currenlty fly at Ameristar and used to work there myself. Believe me when I say those pilots can count how many HOURS to the end of their contracts. Pay increases at ameristar dont exist despite showing profits. For the years I was there I never recieved a pay increase. If you dont want to fly for peanuts, they can find another monkey who will. If the flight followers arent trying to kill you, they're trying to bend you over to cover thier own mistakes. (ie dispatching a falcon that had been grounded by the FAA) For a pilot who is new to 135 this can be bad if you dont know when to say NO as far as WX and MX is concerned. Dont expect pilots who currently work there to go on the record and confirm any of this, they know they would be fired in an instant. The 121 side is better when business allows, but unfortunately use the same flight followers. If they are buying 74's, then why are all their 73 guys back on the 135 side or flying in the 9,s?? There is only one thing that you can count on at amerisar, if you are planning on going there bring lube.

May I ask where you got your information from. I can't find any statements by Ameristar, Atlas, or Polar on the sale.

Are you guys sure its not ASTAR Air Cargo which is owned by John Dasburg, formor Northwest Airlines CEO? ASTAR flys for DHL and the info going around the DHL ramp is that Dasburg or DHL will buy the assets of POLAR from Atlas.

Ohh good ole Captain Violation. I wouldnt trust that ass clown in a 172 let alone a 74. He has no business being in a cockpit.
