Evergreen updates?

[pilotgolfer]

What does the current fleet consist of, including the LCF?

APC says 9 -200s and 4 -LCFs. Evergreen is getting 3-6 400s this year but I'm not sure if they are for growth or replacement of 200s.

Just heard 2 of the 400s will be replacements for classic 747-200 going to the bone yard. It would take someone at the very top going away before we get 6 400s on the property. The hotel and water park come first.

They come first until September... after that, WHO KNOWS.

Ohh, the 3 BCF's WERE supposed to replace the 3 JT9 powered SF's.

One just got a new skin, so that POS is gonna be around for a little longer.

Thanks for the update, glad to see that you guys getting some more 400's

good thing we are getting more 400's cause atlas is going to be getting 4 LCF's come sept!

Where did you hear that? Did Boeing cancel the contract with Evergreen?

 

[tubineotter]

just doom and gloom rumors. the contract is up for review every 5 years. evergreen has done a stellar job with the LCF. But its hard to say with boeing. Atlas was in the running initially. just fishing for info from atlas crews.

 

[Zoneload]

Doom and gloom keeps us going I guess..If we get some 400's then I can have the doom and gloom guys doing the AMC flying also.

Have they pulled it SAFELY out of the hangar yet? That task seems to be beyond JFK maintenance's capability.

Nope, it is still inside.

Sorry for the hijack, but since there are obviously Evergreen guys reading this...

A buddy of mine may have an in to go fly a KA for Evergreen if Afghanistan. What are the odds of eventually moving over to the big plane side? (Down the line a ways, he'd be happy with the contract stuff until the flying went away).

Thanks.

they are two diffrent companies same parent company. i dont know of anyone from helicopters coming to the airline in a long while.

 

[propsarebest]

The helicopter side of the house is a totally diff. company, on a 135 cert.

Every once in awhile it happens. One of my Lear FOs moved over to the 121 side. It used to be a lot easier, but after EAI went union it became more difficult. You have to surrender your company seniority and start over. If you do a good job over there and if DMS likes you, if you indicate that you would like to go over to the dark side, EAI will be told to interview you. If you get the job or not depends on you.
