Anyone know anything about their flight dept? They are based at KLMT, Klamath Falls, OR.
Do they just have one Astra?

Multiple Astras and I believe a single Galaxy. Appear to be quite busy. Sorry for the lack of additional info.

They have 2 or 3 Astras, a Galaxy, and a KingAir 350.

Rumor has it they are getting a big G-unit.

Rumor has it that pay is a little on the low side, however. Most of it comes in the form of bonus.

I know the operation quite well. They've got a King Air 350, a couple of G200s, one more on order, and some G100s. The chief pilot is a flaming ass.

They went with another G200 instead of G-450???? Amazing!? Given their missions to Europe ect.

The rumors of a G450 (and prior to that, a G-IV or BBJ) have been around for at least 15 years. The G200 is a workable north atlantic airplane. It makes little sense for their Pacific rim trips. Oh well, lay that one at the feet of their CP and FDM. It's too bad their flight department is such a joke. It's a real shame.

Always wondered about them...

My cousin's husband was in Mgt for them and recommended me. I also talked with, or tried to, the CP/DO. Not a very gregarious fellow.

Can't remember his name, but I interviewd down there 12 years agoand he's definitely NOT a friendly chap. They fly their guys a lot, and use several contract pilots to fill in the blanks.
