Heard someone saying the 757 has one more flight this week and it will be done. I highly doubt that is true, but just the normal rumor mill. I'm sure Triton wanted their planes back, I don't think any of this was planned in advance, like someone is trying to make it sound.

The -200s had low bypass P&W, the 300/500 have high bypass CFM-56.

So what's up? Is Pace shutting down? :(

Most crew members were furloughed today. Only keeping on a skeleton crew.

Joe, I meant to say the 300s & 500s have the same motors - so should be the same fuel burn, right?

How many guys furloughed? All off 737s?

Are they trying to restructure under the new ownership (Dallas Mavericks guy, right?) or what are y'all being told? Hoping for the best...

SkiBum112 09-15-2009 08:51 AM

Not being told anything, other than they're keeping six guys. I think Dallas is furloughing too. Ownership hasn't changed, still the aviation enthusiast from Kansas City. Thanks for the well wishes
