Bimini Island Air Update

[ContractFlyer]

One plane left in flying condition and even that is debatable. Caravan had 2nd incident within 1 week and is now out of the picture. One Saab has been down since last summer with no money to repair it. The last 402 had a gear collapse this past weekend... Company in chapter 11, people leaving in droves.. Anticipate the FAA is gonna get shut them down. I know I touted them previously, and to be honest it was fine. It went downhill when the former chief pilot left.

How'd you get all my ex's in one picture...DAWG

Thats a damn shame! BIA was looking pretty good about 2 years ago. Gulfstream will pick up most if not all of the slack on the island of Bimini. I know Lynx has a very limited sked there as well. Good luck to BIA!

Now the new chief pilot is also gone and the FAA paid them a 4 day visit this week. Seems the owner Mr O was never qualifed to be the DO so BIA now must hire a DO. FAA found quite a few problems...AOC problems looming

I remember a day when a pos 135 company gave me a job because there were no ERJ weenie jet jobs yet

Don't forget the bottom-feeding 121 operators. Nothing against the employees that work there, but Skybus?!? Virgin America?

Best of luck to the former Corpexers at BIA

Yea but BIA was and still a POS company, Obrien needs to be a garbage man, that is about all he is good for. What a pilot pusher

 

[Ciao for now]

Shut the f up about you wanting certain companies to go out of business, maybe you should concider people that work there

I'll 'concider' it
