Wow that hurts. Low blow man, however I didnt pay to get in to ACA, I was current and quald on the J-41 (thanks Uncle Hullas) so it was free for me. Speaking of free so was my 73 type... thanks tax payers and thank goodness for Workforce Improvement Act. I would never buy a type or a job, never have, never will. You got me confused with the wrong sort of guy.

Beagle, how could you call an airline that spent $400 million in 16 months low cost? No way was Independence Air low cost, just ask anyone who bought the stock at $38.

And Southern Air is just like FedEx and UPS except for... well every things actually. But I must say I have had the most fun with those guys. If they had flight attendants instead of FE's I would have never left.

Bad Andy, I hope you dont give up the career. Your a great pilot and I enjoyed flying with you.

Whats the secret to getting a call from a Low Cost Carrier? Low Self Esteem
I have no low self esteem.....what are you getting at????

As far as POS A320's: they are new and coming from a guy that flew CRJ's, J41, and Do328s......what ever I'm thinking the airplanes before that were even better?

There are better places..... and worse. No training contract is a bonus and a free "Bus type"....

From wikipedia:

"After United withdrew the contract, Atlantic Coast reinvented itself as low-cost carrier Independence Air."

"After its emergence as an independent brand name, Independence Air became known for offering very low airfares: as little as $29 one-way to Florida from Washington Dulles International Airport."

Check your PMs. Also I just looked, it's Denese.

But alot of your former crews are at SkyBus so for a guy to infer that you MIGHT be that type of guy is not a stretch by any means.

Definite War Stripes for being a former Hullie boy though

Good Luck with the interview when it comes up (who is rec you?.....pm me )
Is this Chris W?
