Didn't Ford have a Fokker at one time? What ever happened to that?

Ford

They had two Fokker 70's that they were using principaly for a UK shuttle. They liked the airplanes well enough, but have found support increasingly difficult to attain. I haven't been by to see them lately and they didn't attend the annual Gulfstream Workshop in Savannah last week so I don't know what their plans are for those airplanes.

They use a Fokker 100 as a shuttle to SDF every week. Talked to one of their pilots one day and he confirmed they are having some internal difficulties.

The bennies are good though. I think the pilots all get company cars and great salaries. A friend over at NJI knew a pilot that left there for a Ford GV job at about $175K. Don't quote me on this part though, just passing it along. GVflyer has the inside info.

Editorial correction? Fokker 70's I guess. The one with the BR710's on it.

Not up to speed on those muther Fokkers.
