Regions Air????

[CopilotDoug]

Hold that thought, the new prediction just came in off the teletype: 3 in a Million

This is old news by now, but I haven't seen anyone mention it here yet. Regions did not get awarded the STL EAS routes. They were split between Big Sky and Great Lakes.

Aaahhhhh the good ol' days.

Check out this link. It was before my time at Regions, but it certainly was when things were easier (and better).

871 was a POS but that was a nice paintjob...

If the government cheese is gone it's over...I wonder if anyone will ever know what or who really happened-and which wallets got thicker(?)...howisit that 11 year old manuals and proceedures are suddenly unsafe?

Good luck guys and gals. You know, I've said that so many times but I really mean it. There are so many good memories that I have flying with so many really fine people, so many jokes with the gsa's-so much milk and so many chicken lips-all we had was each other to get the job done cause it dang sure wasn't for the money.

Frack!

Well, all y'all deserved better. Now you will have to go get it!

Rumors are growing of a party. A "cockroach party". Never been to one of them! Probably will miss that too, dang it!

I just hate it when work interfears with life!

Speaking of N871JX

Looks like it found a new owner (Not a bad paint job either)

Something about having that dark stripe on the lower half makes jballs look less pregnant. I always wnated to fly one that didn't have the pod, heard they were much nicer.

Do you know if they were any faster without the pod?
The TWE paintjobs looked great on the Jetstreams, in my opinion.

I think 871 is flying to the Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey, etc., in the English Channel, off the coast of France) now. It's sure doing better than 872, which is still in pieces in MQY right now. My bet is it will never fly again.

The only one of those 800 series ships I liked was 875...oops...but she did fly nice. 880, oh what a fracking pos! And 883CH (I wonder who thought those of us that knew her as 432AM would be fooled by a tailnumber change?)-geeze what a crooked cocked up mongrel! 872 doesn't stand out in the recall, what happened to that one? Or was she a parts doner for too long?

If I wanted a jball it would be 938...nice machine...at least she was back in the day!

Ten, I hope you don't have to change to "no, you may not leave...at all"

883 got sent to the desert a couple of years back, dunno for how long.

880 is sitting outside the hangar at MQY. Some parts have been robbed from it, but it's got most of its pieces. No engines, of course.

872 has been sitting in the hangar at MQY for 18 months. It is on jacks because the landing gear has been robbed. It's covered in dust and spiderwebs. It is literally an empty shell; everything of use has been stripped from it.

And 883CH (I wonder who thought those of us that knew her as 432AM would be fooled by a tailnumber change?)

Well, at first I thought it got a new tail-number because it was Chuck Howell's airplane, thus 883CH (by the way, one airplane at AirTran is “dedicated” to Joe Leonard and the last two letters of the tail-number are JL).

Only later did I realize the airplane was actually an integral part of NASA research on airport wild-life control. The airplane was equipped with bird attracting devices and airports would actually wave their landing fees hoping the bird exterminator would come in to clean out their runways.

And thus 883 Chicken Hacker was born...


A good friend told me a while ago: “good things happen to good people.” ► Congrats to the newest Different Animal member! Awesome!!!

Love dead-heading on them; great service and their commercials are the best in the industry.

Chicken Hacker was a great nickname for that airframe but I thought that Crack Ho not only was representative of that skanky airplane but also more appropriate to the overall situation. And that was what, back in the spring of '02?

And congrats to the newest ex-CP of Regions Air! Right On! You're Buyin'!!!

 

[CopilotDoug]

Initials people! What are the initials of the individual who got on at Frontier?!?
That's Fu-didly-cking AWESOME!!!

BUT WAIT! It has to be a lie....Whoever it was last flew the tiny Jetstream!!! These people don't get hired, much less interviews by operators like Frontier!

Again, congrats to the mystery pilot who got hired to Frontier.
