Meeting between FO and NJ.

How about

the Flight Options 400s go to Net Jets and are managed as a separate fleet (subsidiary) to cover possible charters?

hawkercpt, Your Idea makes the most sense.

Heaven forbid the comany is doing ok and trying to look like the new company the two have formed, Flight Options LLC.

What is the dissolution date for Flight Options LLC? Just wondering, why you would put temp decals on a new paint scheme?

Cessna was putting "decals" as you call them on new airplanes for at least 10 years. We operated a Citation VII with mylar decals on it from the factory.

Perhaps it is more about keeping ones "options" open...with regards to a paint scheme, anyway.

Also, painting puts a plane out of the loop for quite a while and we've been pretty busy for a long time now. Maybe they are waiting for a lull in ops before putting a bunch of planes down voluntarily to create a uniform fleet.

This rumor is looking like it just may come true. RTS was dropped off at FLOPS last week. I am seeing more and more airplanes painted white, the merger and scope language in the new TA favors the company. Ofcourse, I could have this all backwards, and NJA is selling everything to FLOPS. Maybe that is the reason for reserving all those tail numbers with the FAA. Something big is definately going to happen though.

LX tail numbers

It has been confirmed that Options is the proud owner of 900+ LX registered tail numbers. Flt Ops doesn't need that many tail numbers with a current fleet of around 220 owner-owned aircraft. Seems pretty optimistic to think that we will grow to a fleet that size without a merger or acquistion.

If "LX" means "less cost", does anyone know the deal on the two generic Ultras recently at CMH with "CW"? Maybe it means "can't win"? Both a/c are registered to NJ Sales, Inc. Unit numbers are 5600261 and 5600293.

 

[Hawk Driver]

The two Ultra's painted in white are for sale, they are formerly N293QS and N305QS. They have reached their useful life and are for sale. Both planes were purchased aftermarket prior to being QS tail numbers, not bought from Cessna.

OK here are my 2 cents.

1. NJ and FO have aircraft that are getting old and have to replace them with new ones since that is what they sell their owners.
If they put them on the market some charter company will buy them and then charge NJ and Fo for charter work as if the aircraft were new.

2. FO and NJ form a new "Charter company" ( maybe LX?) each owning a share of their new 135 company that will do charter work for NJ and FO when needed. ( at a fair price per hour) It will also do charters for outsiders if the aircraft are not busy. This way NJ and FO can get rid of their old aircraft and still have access to them at a fair price when peak travel days arrive.

3. If NJ goes on strike the new "charter company" does the work for NJ since they are charters.


Lets face it in a few years there are going to be a lot of aircraft reaching their 5 year life span with NJ and FO and there has to be a place to get rid of them without taking a bath.




PS... LX stands for Lower expectations!!!
