Fleet Bank ???

[SmackYourPappy]

Can anyone tell me if Fleet Bank (Boston) has a corp flight dept? If so, where, how many, what type, history, etc??? How 'bout rumors as to what'll happen with them after BofA merger???

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pappy

I may have it confused with another bank, but I believe Fleet has been recently aquired by Bank of America. BoA is trying to expand into the North East.

USC... That's the one. I saw one of Fleet's Challenger's on the ramp at CLT wed.... at least I assumed it to be since it had Fleet's colors and a tail ending in FB. I'm just trying to gauge how/if their flight dept would be integrated into BAC's.

99% of the time a merger of two large companies with flight departments is a bad thing. Some airplanes get sold, some people get laid off. The guys who stay are pissed because some of their buddies were sent packing. Sad but true reality of aviation.

From what I hear, most of the Fleet guys are now looking for jobs. Only rumor, but what I heard. If it's true, too bad, good bunch of guys.
