Isn't another People Express in the works too?

Yes, I think so. The pilots are coming from Vision Airlines...I think.

Can't tell the players without a program. And I don't have a program.

From a.net:

Yet more confusion around proposed People Express reincarnation.

Today they filed notice with the DOT that they seek to withdraw their application for air carrier certification and commercial authority for interestate transportation.

Company says it "has undergone significant changes in organization and financing, such that the information in the application currently on file is out of date. While the company does plan to prosecute an application for authority, it believes that it would be more efficient simply to start afresh with a new application at the appropriate time."

I'm not sure if these guys know if they are coming or going....

This from another source. I took it as coming from someone who works for Vision:

"Vision Airlines is currently accepting applications on climbto350.com. [that may have ended] We are planning on hiring about 18 pilots, half captain and half first officer, operating for the new Peoples Express airlines out of Virginia."

"The relationship with PE is we will be flying for them until they get their own aircraft and operating certificate."

Seems to be rather a lot of 737 pilots around.

What about Republic? Are they coming back too?

They may be a disgrace to the original airlines, but both liveries look nice on the 737. Especially Pan Am.

I hope they don't create PanAm Express or PanAm Connection BS

They'll be able to merge the two and rename it Carnival.

or Texas Air
