I heard that Cherry Air is going to park their Falcon's.

I heard that Southwest is converting old 737's into freighters.
I heard that Grandaire is still around somewhere.

And last but not least,

Anyone else have any good rumors they would like to share???

It could happen, it is on-demand freight. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I heard flight express is merging with UPS. All 210 and Baron pilots will be given the option to fly for UPS and all UPS pilots to be given the option to fly for flight express. Rumor has it most of the flx guys are staying put while UPS pilots are jumping ship. Flight Express management is concerned they wont have enough runs available to accomodate.

You are just mad that you don't have the correct last name :beer:

We were told that there would be no more rumors until after the merger

I heard FedEx is about to file chapter 11 and furlough 40 percent of their pilots.

so they lost the mail contract? or is this due to them getting rid of the 72?

You are slightly off, UPS is merging with Federal Express. Seeing as how Fed-Ex is declaring bankruptcy, UPS decided to come "save the day" and buy the floundering company. In the wake of these new events, Fed-UPS as it will now be called, has now started a Pay-For-Training program where as long as you have a PPL and $90,000 you can buy your way into the FE seat on a 727.
