Regions Air????

I wonder what's up with that pod door in the second shot. Looks like you can see right through it.

Reading the fine print on the paintjob my suspision is that it is a camera port...saw a Metro in RDU one day over at Southern Jet that had some kind of pod (though much smaller and more streamlined) that had a mirrored port on it. Think it was some kind of infrared scanner looking for pot growers or something.

No word on the restart huh? Well, heard a rumor about some of the Pace guys getting recalled! There may be even fewer to go back...

Saw Calitta today in LAX. I miss you. The Ex-Corpex girls will honor you by singing the "Gilligan's Island-Jetream song" at the Monteagle chick party as we're drunkenly dancing around the bonfire. BTW - I turned Frenchy.

I miss all y'all too-if you want I could bring a batch of chile and some beans and cornbread...

Hehehehe...You must send me pictures!!! The Karitta Pirates would love it!!!

Sorry about the bus-and you thought that Lucas electrical stuff was bad...have fun!

 

[belchfire]

Uh oh...

:crying: Two phone calls and a text message...I hear that it's time to turn out the lights.

Good luck to all...

 

[Smiliner]

Belch are you serious? Is it done? I mean DONE DONE!!! That sucks. Best of luck to the 14 that were left.

 

[Foxcow]

Is something official going to be released? I am curious to read the reasons.

 

[belchfire]

I tried to see something official, but their website tends to run at least two years behind the times...but given the sources I would tend to believe it.

Only 14 left? Bad enough that they are having to look for new jobs, but that is alot fewer that it would have been three months ago.

So, should I waste my money sending in my manuals and ID badge?

 

[Smiliner]

I would wait until they contact you.

 

[Tram]

Well, they already sent me the "please send in your ID and manuals.. TSA no fly list blah blah" letter..

However, I'm not going to spend the $15 bucks to ship it to them if they just closed the doors.. A wee bit pointless me thinks..

 

[Hammerfall]

I would get a receipt from every item turned in......AND GET your training records!
Oh... ask what their fedex account number is. Then ship them to them.

 

[belchfire]

I'd send the ID back right away-and spend the money on a return recipt...only about three bucks-that way you have some kind of proof that you mailed them something. I asked about returning my manuals when I resigned and was told to keep them.

 

[FlyFastLiveSlow]

Sounds like the fat lady has sung and is leaving the stage. Good luck all.

Corpex gone!

I wish all furloughed guys/gals at Corpex the very best, hope you'll get other jobs really soon.

I am pulling for several of them; maybe everyone can try to help out someone?

Also,
please spread the word that Cindy Austin (scheduling) is creating an online "Corpex Album" - any pictures where Corpex airplanes and/or employees are part of are welcomed. If you want to send a picture of you in the past and of you now - you can do that too. Cindy is very good at this so I'm sure this album will be great for all of us to enjoy.

If you have any pictures you'd like to share, please do so.

Funny or sad, silly or amazing, airplanes by themselves, or people and airplanes - doesn't matter - whatever you think will be good to have in the album - let's have a great online album to remember our past.
I already emailed her a picture of Chris Miller – I want him to be a part of this too!

I don't have her email address on me but will be posting it soon, or maybe you can PM me and I’ll give it to you that way.

Also, if you have a regular picture, just scan it and email it that way.


Ps. So, should I waste my money sending in my manuals and ID badge?

YES!!! When I resigned I was told I could keep my badge for a week so I could use the jumpseat privileges. However the “new” (at the time) records lady was not notified about this by the “old” lady who’d resigned just a few days earlier so the next thing I know I am getting a certified letter from Corpex saying TSA was notified I had not returned my ID (no phone calls whatsoever and only 5 days after I’d left!)
Fortunately I got help from Adam and others and after sending out a couple certified letters to the TSA the problem was fixed; the records lady apologized to me later and said she saw my records on her desk when she started (I had resigned just 2 days prior) but couldn’t find my ID – and somehow she thought that TSA is supposed to be notified about “lost” IDs within 24 hours or something like that.

Do not screw up turning in your ID – in post 9/11 environment it’s a big no-no.

Good luck everyone and please stay in touch!

Little Corpex nostalgia!
