I am an F/O on the A-300. I have heard that there will be another class in Jan. We have a now Chief Pilot who takes office soon, so I dont know what will change then.

Hi there,

I am not far from the Headquarters in NC. Would it do me any good to walk in a resume and perhaps make some contacts. It is only a two hour drive for me and I have the quals that they are looking for.

Before becoming a pilot, I worked in maintenance. I managed the storage yard where we kept several B4's for Tradewinds. Don't know if they leased out the others or painted 'em up in TW colors. Small world. Can I fly one? lol

Note to all those looking for aviation jobs. Ther will probably be a few hundred pilots from Independence Air also looking.

Tradewinds Chief Pilot

Dan Deweese former Emery/Orion guy is there now, but the torch hasn't quite changed hands yet. Bruce is still with us i think til feb when he turns the big 60. I've recently had to move over to the China line due to seniority and TW dropping the kitty hawk line. Not sure for how long.

Tradewinds Alterego for FedEx?

Conventional wisdom out in the Pacific is that Tradewinds is wholly-owned by FedEx, maybe FedEx Trade Networks. Anyone know if this is true?

Google Tradewinds, their bankruptcy or near bankruptcy - can't remember, and lawsuits, etc.

If FEDEX owns them, they are doing a great job of disguising it.

But, TDX has for a long time done a lot of FEDEX flying (and continues to) - http://www.caribbeantrans.com/
