To the guys asking about Package Express and "Race City". It was bought by Ram Air last summer (june I think). I am not sure why they still use the "race city" callsign, even before i left, they had changed most of the routes to the "ramex" callsign. I miss Package, it was the most fun I ever had in a flying job(Bill had the best parties). I felt nostalgic when i saw old 401NA on the cargo ramp in ORF the other day. I would probably still be there if Ram hadn't have bought us out and made everone miserable. I hear that most of the "old timers" have cut out of there too.
 
They had to use the race city call sign because some of the aircraft were still on their certificate. The Package certificate is now non existent so no more race city call sign.

If you have the minimum 135 requirements and need a good starting out job in aviation you should check it out. www.ramairfreight.com

We've just picked up new bases in Florida and are losing 5 pilots to the airlines. Tell Jerome Scoot sent ya.

Must be the time of year. Again, we need sharp and dedicated pilots to help cover the growth we are experiencing. There are a lot of C-402 runs opening up in CRW, BWI, and CLT. Ram Air has grown and it's been a tough year smoothing out the wrinkles of our purchase of Package Express, but things are getting better. So look up www.ramairfreight.com for info.You must have good IFR skills!
 
I have had my eye on Ram Air for a while. I live in Asheville which is close to Concord. I have been studying all the flight training doc's that are available to download from austincollins.com (FLX training manager's site) to prep for Ram Air or similar. Sounds like RA is a good group of guys and a good company and my wife wants to move to Charlotte. I just need those mins.!!

My family lives in CLT as well and RAF and SATSAir are the places I'd like to work...Let me know how it turns out for you...

I'm retiring from the USAF in Jan 09 then spending the year getting my ratings / doing CFI to get the 135 mins...

Good luck,

Right on. Thanks for reminding me of this thread. I'm FINALLY getting close to the mins. Checkout pro pilot world.com to see great photos of the better side of my experiences that take me a little closer to the mins each day. BTW, You live in Charlotte? Most likely if I work for Ram and have a CLT or Concord base I'll have the weekends open. I already have an IN towing banners around Concord for the races and also in TN for the games on the weekends. Some pretty dang good money if you get involved with Van Wagner's national ops. So far I've towed with the PA-12 (Family Cruiser), 18 (Super Cub), 25 (Pawnee) and J3 (Cub) at other companies. I also have a good bit of dual given as a CFI but banner towing racks up the time twice as fast and pays better. And the tail wheel experience is golden. Good Luck!
