Jungle Jets

Man those things have been sittin there for like a year along with 20 different saab's and other assorted regional planes. Seems like someone would snatch those bad boys up though.....

ASABound is right on top of the latest info at Corpex. I would trust this rumor to be true!

.............except that he has been in Coast Guard Training for the last few weeks!

Attention on deck...........flame baiter has come aboard!!

.................GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ!

I heard they were going to reinvent themselves as a low-cost carier and fly ex-United 747-400s. Where do I send my app?

 

[tittyjet]

Funny......

.....I talked to ASA bound on the phone the other night as he was waiting for the Coast Guard to get back into port -- he said something about "doing" the Coast Guard, not training?!?!


Or could it have been "training" as in choooo, choooo........

 

[belchfire]

ASAbound is seasick!

kotex...er corpex, my friends will, never get rjs of any type or size, so you didecated, wholly-owneds and so on don't need to worry!

Why not rjs? They cost too much. I enjoyed the discussion of where Eagle came from, and will throw out two more names...Masaba and Pinnical(express one).

There are two things that seperate Corporate Airlines from the RJ operating, "former" contract carriers...
1) Capital
2) Vision

We at corpex will give up our jetstreams when they pry our cold dead fingers from around them, or we get hired somewhere else!
In that vein, congrats to Jody Olsen, BRL station manager on her
moving to Air Tran!!!

Not that corpex will never get new a/c. They would probably have AN-2's on the property right now except for the certification issues. One CA suggested we should be Jurrasic Air, flying yesterday's technology into tomorrow(or something likethat).

Well, it was I funny rumor, but there ain't enough change under the crewroom couch to fuel rjs. Ha. HAHAHA

 

[throttlejockey]

I thought the change under the crew-room couch was the Corpex retirement plan?

............oh wait, scratch that, its the marriott rewards points..........

 

[belchfire]

heck, I ain't quick enough to get any of the change from under
the couch...sombody esle always gets it! Thought it was management!

Still Waiting

So I guess this was a pipe dream. I would assume still no where in site........

 

[boxjockey]

I've heard a lot of rumors about us unloading the 135's. Heard from mx. the other day that the difference in operational cost is about $75/hour. I wouldn't doubt CoEx trying to get rid of them, but I think it would be a hard sale.

Yes, It Is True!!!

C’mon guys & gals, why so negative? I was also very skeptical at first but after some research I found out the rumor to be true. However, instead of 25 ERJ’s »Corporate Airlines« are only getting 6 ERJ136’s (with an option of additional 10).

Found a link with one already painted in Corpex colors: (http://www.airliners.net/open.file/636385/L).



Finally, better things ARE coming after all…

As of this am Corporate Airlines Mgmt. in Smyrna , TN have announced that Corporate will be be acquiring 25 ERJ - 135 aircraft from Continental Express. Doug Caldwell said that "this is to support growth opportunities in STL, with the American downsizing". It was also said that the first aircraft will be on the property by October 1st.

Am I missing something here......isn't this thread from 2003?

Smyrna, TN- 19 Aug


CEO Doug Caldwell announced today that the annoucement announced yesterday will be rescinded by the announcement of a new announcing committee. The members of said committee are to be announced.

The purchase/leaseback of the CoEx ERJ-135's is to be accomplished through two separate avenues; firstly, through the sale of the fabulous Corpex Center, Corporate's luxurious World Headquarters Complex in Smyrna, TN; secondly, through the proceeds of the sale of the Golden Gate Bridge to Virgin America. The bridge will then be known as the Virgin Gate Bridge. The deal will be closed by 30 September in order to have the ERJ's on property by 1 Oct and in revenue service by 9 Oct. Apparently, the new airframes need a good cleaning. Furthermore, all company contributions to the pilot pension plan has been ceased, adding to the already considerable war chest Corporate management has amassed, purportedly to purchase bankrupt United Airlines at a significant discount.

You guys will believe anything, won't you???

Has the announcement committee been announced yet? Can’t wait for THAT memo, .

On a more serious note, any news on the pay front? Have y'all heard anything from the mgmt? Wish you all well, HomeY
