Arrow Air out of Sunny MIA - Questions

[Sunnfun]

What's up with that white A310? Is Arrow going to start using those?

Slick Willy the head is still running the show? Is Calvet still a CP or DO?

From a friend who is still there, he is still VP of Flight Operations.

It is probably another carrier they hired to fly Arrow freight, while they furlough their own pilots.

If you want to fly the DC-10 it appears World Airways will be hiring 46 more pilots in the near future. The hiring will be in the right seat of the DC-10 more than likely.

And what's up with "Arrow Equador" (Heard on the airwaves the other day...)? Another attempt to lower the bar? Is Arrow Panama now being to expensive to crew?

Wow! When I worked there, they insisted that Arrow Panama would not take our freight. Slick Willy also insisted that Arrow Ecuador only existed on paper, to allow us easier operations into and out of Quito and Guayaquil. They were never able to get Arrow Panama approval to fly anywhere but Panama to Lima. The sad thing was the Panamanian government provided better work rules for their pilots than a union contract would. So, now Arrow Ecuador is a reality, huh?

What they DID do was to outsource Arrow-labeled freight to Focus, and then proceed to furlough Arrow pilots and engineers in clear violation of the scope clause.
