I also heard yesterday, that passenger operations will cease by end of Nov or sooner. Only freight will remain.

USA Jet questions

I was looking at the fleet count in the USA Jet profile on APC. All cargo fleet. 7 dc9's, 1 md80, and 3 da20. Is that accurate? What happened to the Lear?

All passenger ops are done. The Lear is gone. 1 of those 7 dc9's mentioned above was a cargo bird turned pax bird and is now in the process of being converted back to cargo. 1 of the pax md-80's is heading to miami to have a cargo conversion done and will be out of commission for awhile. So for now, 6 cargo dc9's and 3 falcons. The rumor is that management was waiting till after the holidays to furlough. We shall see. I don't work there but I have friends that do and I hang out at the same airports and hotels as they do so we talk often. Glad I got away from that place.

Agreed, but attrition is keeping close tabs with the bottom number...
