Mar,

Was just a rumor I heard from one of our captains a couple of weeks back - go figure.

Era just got sold and the fixed wing Alaska division is supposed to be sold again! Probobly not a solid career choice!

At 11:59 PM EST Era is officially sold. Also, the 2 Convairs are grounded on the 31st. Don't know what to think of the whole sale thing? I've been optimistic, but hard to stay that way..........

Has anybody been hearing anything else out there?

If you like to be treated like $hit its a good place to work. If you like to risk your life, a good place to work. If you like to work with No schedule and not see your home very often, a good place to work. Every day is like a sim ride so you do stay sharp. Only 27 engine failure's last year ( only one fell off an aircraft) with a fleet of 12 aircraft. Not bad. Do you like the middle east ? a good place to work. Maintenance ?????? Whats that??? Need I say more?

Working in Alaska is tough. I'd love to fly a DC-6 or C-46 just to say I've flown one of those oil guzzlers.

Um, volks, thats a direct cut and paste from a post about Kalitta Air.

This guy is on the pipe. No concept of reality.

You could change a few items. But it still seemed an appropriate response.

Now when did Everts have an engine fall off one of their planes? Was this recent? Also, was it a -6 or -46?

 

[Xfr8dog]

They didnt have one fall off, thats the point. Volks just cut and pasted someone elses rant about Kalitta Air.
