Trans Auto Convairs?

They're not new, they're old Convair C-131F's (Convair 440's) modified basically into a stretched Super 580. I do believe that they do 0 time the airframes since they completely strip down and rebuild the entire A/C, but they're not making a new plane.

i guess i misunderstood him.

Captains and FO's have a new pay scale as of 4 months ago or so. Even if you dont fly you still get your guarantee which isnt to bad. They are looking for street captains since they lost 4 to spirit airlines around the same time as the pay raise.

Naa, the "stretches" as we call them still have all their original airframe time on them, mostly 20,000-30,000 hours. But they do look nice and new inside and out. And yeah, the pay raise was nice. IFL is a good place to work for on-demand freight.

Ditto.

Yeah the stretch is so sweet. In fact, even if the trip will work on a 580, I often ask for the stretch anyway because it's so sweet.

Hot word is we are getting JATO kits for the 5800's in 2008 with a bump in ZFW and MTOW.

It'll be just like fat albert. Toluca here I come!
