ExpressJet flying for Chalks?
 

A friend of mine at XJT said that you all are flying for Chalks now too? Is that true? SAAB???

Nevermind... I went on another forum and answered my own question :) Good for you guys!

This is depressing.
Chalk's used to fly some pretty sexy seaplanes. Now they contract out to Big Sky and XJET. Nothing sexy about those planes...

Speak for yourself pal..................at least your wings don't snap off 200ft of the ground, I guess they are using some of the planes we have available for charter, I havent heard though......all news to me

nothing sexy about the wing falling off.:rolleyes:

They've been operating using B1900s no?

Sexy airplanes? WTFO

Geez...Ihope They Get Paid....
 

Chalks stiffed Big Sky airlines out of the $$$$ and they pulled their 1900D out of FLL on a two hour notice.

I hope XJT got a large advance payment...frankly there isn't enough BUTTS to make it profitable.

How are they going to land in the water?

The FAA recently approved the EMB-145XR for a retrofit Hull/float system that is approved for both open water takeoff and landing. They will reverse the winglets and attach a wingtip float system. We will have to program the ATTCS system to depart with a F-Takeoff, for floats instead of E-Takeoff. The only downside is we had to get rid of the ventral fuel tank in order to secure the airframe for a hull landing. We are going to be limited to a sea-state 2 and below landing and will refuel with the assistance of the US Navy's submarine fleet. In addition new FO's hired will require at least 100 hours of multi-turbine sea plane time.

This is why we are the best Major Airline most talked about in the Regional Forums.
