Vision Airlines 767 FO's
Even though I'm not even remotely meeting their preferred minimums, I'm still curious why they are hiring 767 FO's? I've been keeping an eye on Vision for a while now and the 767's aren't doing that much flying (civilian side at least, not sure about the CIA flying).
The last hit I got on N766VA was back in mid August and other than a USA3000 sub-service (that got FUBAR'd by the way) and a few sub flights on the MIA-GPT-IAG runs, the plane has just been sitting in ILN or MIA most of the year.
I know there was talk of using it on the PGD-LAS runs that are/were slated to start. Also heard talk about a paper airline called LV Air using their 767s, but an airliners.net forum topic said LV is basically a crock.
Anyone else hear anything?

It might be joining the other birds in IAD doing the CIA flying. If true, I find it a little "weird" that they are advertising for that kind of flying on the airline's website (even though they don't specifically mention it).

Are they fencing the airplane off from the 737 guys or what?
