Pan AM

I was just wondering what was their status.I love train wrecks.

I too am curious about Pan Am. I saw one in BHM the other day. A 27 using the clipper call sign. Are they flying charters now?

Its a crappy charter company. We've got a few guys here that came from "Pan Am" .

Some lawyer (or similar white collar) bought the right to paint his airplanes in Pan Am livery.

I think they are really called Boston Main Airways based up in NH or something. They also have a "regional" that flies J32's. I've seen those down in BWI a few times. From what I have heard the company is run by a bunch of union busting @ssholes and is, in general, a horrible place to work.

Someone told me a story once of a captain there that was illegally fired. When the mediator gave him back his job with full backpay and the max interest, the company refused. I guess it took a federal court order with a daily monetary fine to get them to abide by the arbitration. If I were that guy, I'd have got my money then walked off the job halfway through my next trip.

Lav Service is correct

they are based in Portsmouth NH

They have a couple of 727s and J32s

Boston Maine Airways is the company using the clipper callsign.

They are looking for 727 crews to be based in CLT for some upcoming work.

Be very careful if you are considering going there.

The assets of Pan Am with the trademark name was bought when Carnival airlines went Chap 11 (who bought Pan Am). The Pan Am crews where fired when the Pan Am certificate was turned in place of Boston Maine assuming the assets through their certificate.

Again you do not want to work there unless you are living under an overpass with a blue tarp and eating out of a lav can.

They are more unstable than the Iranian nuclear program. Highly radioactive.

A pilot of theirs told me it was the judge issuing an arrest warrant for the corporate officers for contempt of court by refusing to re-instate him that got them to finally bring him back.
