I heard Swift is now doing X work for FLOPS. Any truth to the rumors? Just curious.

Swift X's

It's true - this is where Flops is getting the X's they announced.

 

[Lrjet55]

Thats interesting. So they are owned by Sift but dedicated to FLOPS. Have all the crews done the whole indoc thing?

 

[X/2000 driver]

The Planes are still owned by swift and are being operated on a charter bases for flops. The crews have been thru an initial indoc and will go to a formal indoc in the future.

Thats the latest....

PS...The N numbers have been changed and no longer carry "EJ" designation. Now they bare "CX"

Is Swift still doing ANY NJ selloffs with the other aircraft? Ie Encore or Falcon?

 

[Lrjet55]

Now that is interesting. They could possibly be working for both companies at the same time? I am surprised this isn't considered some sort of conflict of interest. I know they have to make a profit but isn't there some sort of "No Compete" clause or since we ended the partnership does that not apply.

I flew for a charter company a few years back and we supplemented all of the fracs. Granted we didn't do as much as Swift, but they didn't care who we flew for. We mostly did EJA, but occasional did BJS (Flexjet) and Flight Options supplements.

The X's are not owned by Swift anymore. Swift sold them to Pinnacle a aircraft mangement company out of Scottdale, AZ. And Pinnacle is doing the Flight ops contract.

Interesting. They are still registered to Swift.
However, Swift's Encore is listed on Pinnale's aircraft sales page. No mention of Xs. I guess it's possible.

Interesting. They are still registered to Swift.

When I was working for a corporate operator, and we purchased an airplane, it took over 5 months for the "Registered to" info to be changed in the public FAA databases. Maybe this could account for the fact that they still show as registered to Swift. The FAA isn't very quick with anything.

Swift is the North American and Middle East distributor for the Legacy. They have something like 25 on order and may be managing them for other companies. I often see the Brasilian registered Legacy demo in and out of Jet Aviation in TEB.

I had thought I heard that Pinnacle was related to Swift somehow. All of Swift's AC are for sale. They always take delivery and immediately put the aircraft on the market while they fly it for either a fractional provider or charter. They've had three or four DA2000s if I'm not mistaken, not to mention the many Citations they've owned.
