Not much. One plane in MIA flying on contract, one plane in depo mx, one flying auto freight. Rumors of new aircraft and hiring someday. Its a great place to work if you aren't trying to build time. Great people, interesting flying.

I jumpseated on a DC-8 of theirs on a UPS contract flight. Great bunch of guys, very professional, and well maintained aircraft (with a mechanic onboard). The operating crew were happy working there. That says a lot! That's all I know.

I know a guy that works there. It seems you have to live pretty close to YIP. They have a 135 charter type schedule with lots of reserve and days off in small blocks. Doesn't seem to be a commuter friendly place.

I'd guess they're in a transition phase from the 135 type op where pretty much everyone is on call to a 121 supplemental with reasonable time off guaranteed. Until they make the change, I doubt they'll get very many experienced DC8 guys, so upgrades might come fairly fast.

The pay is pretty low, but that's the norm lately.

Time will tell.
