Evergreen 400 in ANC

[HA25]

Did he have anything else to say?

that they're working as fast as they can to get people transitioned to the -400.. but we pretty much talked non-office stuff mostly.. I think, like the average line pilot, he's hopeful and at the same time prepared for the worse.. The company is on the edge, but it may also be rock bottom with nowhere to go but up. At least the difficult transition to a all -400 airline is now complete.

SH put out a message a couple of hours ago that there is a very small chance the classics might come back. Personally, I hope we just keep getting 400's every few months and that we have bottomed out.

Of course, I keep saying that every two weeks.

The only classics I would like to see back are the GE powered ones.

those GE's, especially 490 were very capable aircraft... not anywhere near as tired as the Pratts.. hope they do keep at least one or two while they get more of the -400's.

I hope so also. We will see how the rest of the month goes. Sorry for my friends that will be on the street.

There is a major problem with the GE classics.

Del doesn't own them or lease them to the airline. But he does own/lease the Pratts.

If we can't even buy hotel rooms, I don't see how we can regain the GE's. Although, I hope I am 100% wrong.

482/485/486 are EIA owned. Ventures Acquisition of 3850 Three Mile lane owns 487/488/489. Wells Fargo Bank is listed as the owner of 490.

 

[Zoneload]

Any one care to guess who owns Ventures Acquisition of 3850 Three Mile Lane? I am willing to to take a guess and I bet we are still making payments on the planes that have not flown in over a year.

 

[Blackbeard]

I stand corrected!

 

[propsarebest]

EIA is still making DC-9 payments...

 

[Blackbeard]

Del was able to actually sell a few of them a couple of years ago.

I am hearing that the last -200's were parked today. True?

 

[Zoneload]

482 and 486 should be done tomorrow. No more classic flying in the next few days. Sad to see them go.

Google alert today on Evergreen financials.... not very encouraging.

 

[Zoneload]

I don't need the google alert to know how bad things are. We are in a big hole!
