and lastly, i kno that the cargo ops are in a 747, but how modern are the aircraft and how airworthy are they?
They have basically two divisions: one charter/corporate flying(falcons, lears etc) and the other flies heavy freight(747's etc). I think it was two years ago that one of their 47's actually LOST an engine in Lake Michigan(yes, it fell off).
