I heard they are splitting the old and the new. The old are going with Ken and Swift. The new are going back to Raytheon. You know Joe and Ken are buddies.

Splain...

Ok, where did you hear this?

gunfytr,

What he means is that the pre-owned aircraft are going to Swift Aviation and be run by Kenn Ricci, while the new fleet stays with Raytheon.

I know we are eventually are going to be sold but, to me, this does not pass the sniff test.

It's the hot new rumor among the former TA pilots. The CW guys don't know anything about it. Here's the skinny:

Joe S. and Kenn are moving all the pre-owned airplanes to PHX. Oh yeah, supposedly Chris H. just bought a house there too, so he's in the loop. It's gonna be a whole new company, and all the new fleets will stay in CGF and operate their own little gig. I just heard it two tours ago.

Spread the word, it's gotta be the truth!!!

How many pilots would willingly jump to the used, junky fleet when they could fly new aircraft instead? Would the FLOPS Citation X be considered a used aircraft? Wouldn't mind flying a X....

This sort of jives with the NJA/Options merger rumours.

We are merging with somebody... otherwise the company would not be fighting so hard on the Merger and Scope sections of our TA.

Kind of makes a little sense. Since the other part I heard was that the new stuff was going to NetJets.

Not sure why they would want to stay with the old stuff. May not have a choice though. If you are in the old stuff you might just have to stay there. Also Heavy Set you need to be hired at Options before you can fly the X. If you were to get hired you would start in a small cabin and not see the X for a long time.

Oh boy...

Really? I heard all the airplanes were going to United so that they could have a second shot at their fractional, and all the pilots were going to be divvied up between all the Majors(more pilots may have to be furloughed to make room for all the big heads).

I don't know where you idiots get this stuff from....oh yea, now I remember...you already said it.
