Skywest to Acquire Ex-Northwest DC-10s for Charter Operation??

[tomcash]

Has anyone out there heard that Skywest is possibly getting a few EX-Northwest DC-10s to fly on a new charter certificate out of SLC?

The timing is right considering that NW just parked their last DC-10 but it still seems a little far fetched. Then again, there always seem to be room out there for new charter operators starting up with used airplanes.

I wonder if the pilots will be from SKywest or if it'll be a seprate operation (if it's even true to begin with).

Sign me up, 'cause baby, there is more to a W2 than hourly rate.

I am sure they'll be flown at the 50 seat rate...

Weren't some DC-10's going to ATA?

So will it be 250 seats for 50 seat pay? damn he beat me to it

Sounds like flame bait to me.

The LDS church can charter in style!

Never heard the GUMPFART... most important one I learned was "Water landing gear is up!"

Ever see the picture of the one landing in water with the gear part way down? I dont think they lived.

Gonna be kind of tough to do that type of work when most of the -10's have been acquired by Omni and ATA. The remainder are getting parted out in Mississippi...
