Express One info?

[aa73]

Thought I'd try it on this forum... curious about an acquaintance who used to fly for Express One operating as NW Airlink (call sign "Flag Ship")... does this airline still exist? haven't heard about them in a while. Last I checked he was flying J31s based in MEM.

Thanks,

Former Express I'er here. Now known as Pinnacle. Jetstreams we're gone when I started there. Who's your bud? I'm sure the rest of the 9E group will give you some info.

Paul something or other, bailed to ACA in '98. Forgot his last name. I was more curious about the airline anyway. So Express 1 is now Pinnacle? When did that happen?

Company went public in 2002. Express Airlines I inc became Pinnacle Airlines. Still have a presence in the NWA hubs and also does CRJ-900 flying under the Delta banner in ATL. They also own Colgan Air but that's a story for another time.:nuts:

In 98 i was still flying 135 freight. Sorry I couldn't help you locate your bro. If he was at ACA/Indy air, maybe this link will help you
