I see their white CRJ at the terminal in MLB all the time, i believe they are doing MLB to SJU flights.

VA is having a tough go with nearly $1 billion invested so far. Good luck California Pacific. Hope your investors have deep pockets and lots of patience.

PeopleExpress also seems to have disappeared

So that's what that was - I saw one of their 170's on the ramp at CRQ last month, and couldn't believe they could get in and out of there with any useful load.

Does anyone know anyone who's been conditionally hired by them (conditional = that they actually 'become' an airline)? If so- anyone know what their payrates are for street-CA? For a non-commutable job in a high-price area like Carlsbad, you'd think that not many pilots could afford to work for 'startup' wages. ..then again- maybe there are enough starving CFIs lurking around the field that they'll work there for nothing. Problem is; they're not going to be qualified to be street-CAs.

Heck--Moot point I'm sure since they'll probably never get off the ground.

What a waste of a paint job, btw. Not sure why they felt they needed to paint the bird before they actually get DOT/FAA approval. I guess that wasted $ is a drop in the bucket comparatively...

If they ran into a snag its a shame. Bud of mine is the cp.

I hope for his sake that he got a multi-yr contract personally guaranteed by Mr. Vallas. (unless he doesn't really need $)

Any scam needs a bit of truth to make it plausible to investors....

 

[repeat]

really dead?>

Is there any chance that they will open, or are they dead-dead....

They have no permanent POI and the San Diego FSDO is lost. With the sequestration around the corner, forget about any paper movements for CalPac anytime soon.
