Figured that someone should start a thread to see what is happening down in Orlando...

FLOPS announces Wifi on their Phenom 300's and other planes...

What else has been announced so far?

 

[t-bone]

We got more money to spend...

 

[cherry20's]

Fastest growing, and yet still stuck on 3 CH300s-hmmmm.... Is the factory having trouble delivering them? Where's this money going? Will the furloughees be coming back?

Agreed, "fastest growing" seems to be an out-dated phrase...

Bombardier seems to be perfectly willing to deliver them, we just aren't taking them...though it does sound like a paint scheme for our 3 and the next 2 is in the works. I really like the white though, seriously.

Where's it going? Good question.

What furloughs? Like it or not, they weren't furloughed.

Bump......

HHHMMMMM... Where do you work? So that I can ask irrelevant questions and make dumba$$ comments about your employer. How about a good luck guys, or hope for the best? We, as pilots, don't make any decisions that are relevant to the questions you ask. We are just trying to do our best to make a living and take care of our families. Yet you patronize everyone on this board as if we are the enemy for working where we work.

What gives?

That is great news. Someone has a lot of faith in the business model there to put up that much financing during a deep recession. Congrats.

TPG released the capital to buy Flexjet.

 

[HazMat]

Isn't it the same financing xo had before just adjusted so they can buy used aircraft.
