Any charter ops in Phoenix?

[CapnVegetto]

Looking for 135 or 91 operators in Phoenix for a friend of mine. Anyone hiring? Even if they're not, who are they and where could he send a resume? He's got about 2000 TT, 140 or so CE-500, 500 multi, 400 turbine.

Any help would be great!

Whoops....fixed it. It's 2,000.

I'm assuming that is supposed to be 2000TT and not 200TT...but i am not going to raz anyone over little stuff.


Try Swift at Sky Harbour...great company, and they are vested in many other things besides aviation which leads me to think they are going to be around for awhile. Website www.SAG.com info should be there.

Thank you thank you for the help!!

Oops...made a mistake with the website... sag.com is something else.


Try www.sagcharters.com or www.swiftaviationgroup.com then go to the charter link and careers is under there.

...just kidding. Hey, how are things at Airnet? I understand the 135 charter ops are picking up and was looking for info on the Lears based at LNS. Got any info or could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Jetride has a base in SDL.

Umm...right now i do not think Jetride sounds like a very good place to be. Lets just say that we are having Board of Directors and CEO problems right now <----read that as there are some investors trying to oust the current CEO and replace him with their own people who want to get rid of Jetride. So far it actually looks like it might happen, i however am very iffy on the new investors since they have been known (specifically the head guy leading the charge) to buy up undervalued companies and sell them off piece by piece for a large profit. So, i would hold off on the jetride ideas right now, at least until we see what happens here in the next month or two.


But other than that above, it is a great company to be with, well at least the cargo side that is, i do not know too much about the charter side. Always new things going on, and you can actually plan your life...well to a degree at least. I really do not know how to get ahold of the jetride guys, except, you can call the 800 number on our website (www.airnet.com) and talk to Craig Washka, he should be able to fill you in on all the dirt.

star how senior are the west coast bases on the cargo side.

 

[starchkr]

huh...kinda funny story about those as well. The west coast clearing house will be closing in the next two months or so, so for right now the west coast planes are getting all mixed up. They have already cancelled one run out of BUR (that i know of), and the other two will most likely just be restructured to do other things. So, to your question, they are pretty senior right now, however, one of them just came out on our bid sheet this week, so who knows. There really is no good answer for you on that one. It is always hit or miss here, or you can do what i did and just sit and wait for your ideal base to come open.
