Not sure if they are. I did hear they are looking at covering their Lears to haul humans now. I have been flying into CAE for the pass week where the Company HQ is and I saw 5 Lears parked, and 2 MU-2s parked with no engines.

I flew for them too, almost 5 years. Most of the guys I knew there are gone now. That was some of the best times I have had flying. I know that my run is gone. The stopped flying it about 2 years ago. Makes me feel old.

Jeanne's husband is a great guy, I flew with him a few times. I heard that they were having some problems getting the Diamond safety rating or whatever its called to cover for the fractionals when they needed some relief w/ their pax. It is just a matter of time before it goes down. I still talk to some guys there, nothings changed. Although I do miss some great times with some old friends.
We should all crash the christmas party next year!

I flew there 96 to 99 and was based in MIA. It was a great time builder and I flew with some great guys. It was my first exposure to the crew concept and learned a lot.

 

[FR8mastr]

I flew there from 7-95 to 7-97
404-MU-2 based in Albany GA the first year
MU-2 based in CLT the second.

I learned alot doing that job, I liked it and I am glad I did it.

The Christmas party was great.
