What is the status of Champion Air? Two of the aircraft have been returned to the lessor and word is they will be down to 3 by the fall.

They lost the NBA contract and MLT is up in the air. What base will be left? Dallas (where the snr pilots are)

 

[727C47]

when the music stops,msp (where it all started),will be left ,with 3 beautiful 727s,about 30 pilots (down from 150 at its peak), and a lot of good memories from those of us who moved on. flying that good ship was a dream come true.

And now the quiet whisper of the PW545A/B with glass that works better then steam. Not to mentioned a huge leap in QOL, Bennies...etc...etc...etc. Welcome Aboard.

Hi.

IF U are a Champion guy who's losing your job, USA Jet is hiring. We are short of pilots, especially DC-9 FOs (starting pay $39K/year).

We only have 6 guys right now who meet all the requirements for DC-9 capt, and we just had a bid out for new captains. We also got 2 public charter contracts, for two airplanes (and we only have 5 PAX -9s now). We have more PAX revenue than freight now.

Looking at more business and need more pilots and planes.

PM me with your email for extensive info.
