Any intel on these guys? I know nothing.

Is a long post about Eastern. The latest Eastern that is. Personally, just my opinion, I’d be very cautious! It’s Dynamic Airways that simply bought the Eastern name. The management team, if you look them up, has poor history in various places. The first scheduled service went badly and had 12 people on the flight. The list is rather long. I’d give it a year at most. I’ve been wrong before but when a check airman leaves to go be an FO at a Miami cargo operation, that should tell you something.

In short, currently 8 x B767’s in passenger configuration, mix of scheduled and charter service, mostly North - South flying or charters throughout the America’s. We just received an investment to expand operations, approval for DOD Charters and working on ETOPS.

Ken Wooley is the majority shareholder, he also owns Extra Space Storage (1,000+ locations) and sold his interest in Swift last year.
Headquarters is now in Philadelphia, PA.
