USA jet used md80's for human transpo not to long ago - I think they just do freight now.

Omni got it's start in '83 with Learjets...'91 with 727's, '98 DC-10's...Brief period of 757's and now operates 767's and 777's...and has been profitable for 30 of those years...I guess you can say Omni was a successful large Jet Charter start up...

It comes down to making good business decisions over the long term in any business for that business to be successful...

Looks like dreams became reality. Orange Air is operating a MD-83 on college football charters. Oddly they are operating under the tail #N918AV as opposed to a call sign. Not sure I have ever seen a 121 airline operating this way.

FAA has been slow to approve call sign.

Not uncommon. We've used tail numbers for VIP operations.

Great. Controllers will love "Execjet", "XOJET", and now "Orangejet."
