Cool Tradewinds Airlines

Would like to know your opinion on Tradewinds Airlines out of GSO, and please follow up with why you have formed that opinion.

How many days are you guys getting at home now?

About 10 tradewinds guys left ther to go to Focus Air Cargo during my tenure there (Focus). That's not really an opinion, just a factual observation.

Good Luck

ps. Dutch are you flying any trips to Asia or ANC, pm me if so.

They flew contract for us while I was at Kitty Hawk and the crews all said it was the bottom for WB flying. Typical scumbag freight operation. I have a buddy over there who can give you more info, he says the same thing.

Did they give you any new info on the company? What do you think about them? Have you heard back from them about the job?

Ive talked to a few of their crews in JFK and they pretty much said it sucked there....but then I have found about 90% of the pilot population think where they work sux.

Fred's other "airline" - The result of an acquisition some years ago, and subsequent splintering of Fedex into different operating units (For maximum efficiency, of course!). I'm not sure which color of the rainbow coalition they operate under, but Google "caribbean transportation" and see what pops up!

Do you really want to fly for an airline that has had their aircraft boxed in on the ramp in GSO to prevent them from sneaking them out of the airport without paying their bill for a B-Check?
