There was a 400 that got repo'd. The company tried to spin it as a misunderstanding...but I don't know what the facts were. One of the planes is gone, though. I don't think it had anything to do with Direct Air, though. This happened well before DA shut the doors.

Yep, I saw it a week or two before the Direct Air thing. Do you guys have enough flying to keep all the pilots now?

Yes...they just signed a one year contract for some ICE flying in KAEX doing deportation flights to Honduras. The base bid closes tomorrow and the junior assignments will happen Wednesday. Hiring continues at 8 per month. They claim they need another 40 pilots...we are at 65 right now.

Have fun at MHTG! You're gonna love it
Alex kinda sucks for commuting, and it's the middle of nowhere, but we had a great time there.

Momma used to say, "A base is what the crews make of it"
She also said, "Commuting is like a box of chocolates, ....."

Yeah, lots of places. I was just saying that MHTG is fun...in a weird sorta way. Then again, Bogota is fun too, along with all the other southern destinations

This is definitely turning into a get-paid-not-to-fly month for me. Maybe 15 hours, 5 days.
