TriCoastal Air - TOL

Does anyone have information about Tricoastal Air in Toledo, OH?
I'm going in for an interview on Friday and want a heads up on what I might encounter.

Hi.

They used to be called Grand Air.

I would STRONGLY recommend doing a search on this website and flightinfo.com for both Grand Air and Tri-Coastal BEFORE you take the job. Oh, and search for them at the NTSB reports site.

PS-I would rather fly for TSA, Pinnacle, Mesa, or even GoJet.

Stay away - stay very far away. I've got 8 years in the freight business, more than half of that have been flying for competitors to Tri Coastal/Grand Air. We see their pilots places and chat and believe me, you don't want to work at that place.

I'd say stay away from Grand Aire. Things have changed in the past years but still isn't up to par. Their MX was real bad and their pilots weren't the best trained, ie two crashes in one day!?! Good luck in your search for a new job, but try Kalitta or USA Jet in KYIP.
