Of course that was then and now the CAC (Centurian Air Cargo) pilot force is a different breed.

The talk is for more DC-10's pax birds coming but who knows 
Don't worry about the panel, there is a long line of over 60 guys looking to jump in.

Challenge Air guys, leaving them on the street.
I'm confused? I thought UPS bought Chalange Air aircraft and some routes, not the airline itself, am I wrong? Also, didn't they offer interviews to most Chalange Air pilots?
