I remember Planet... they were based out of CVG. The guy that owned the company owned a few hotels also. When a carrier takes a Saab 340 guy and makes him a 727 Chief Pilot its about the same as making some poor bastard the liquor permitee for a crap hole bar... just someone to take the heat and say yes.
