I don't know, maybe it's all the Jetstreams I've seen in the desert or the pre 90s pics that I've seen of them. If I was a pax I'd go with something newer, at least the 1900 looks like a proper airliner.

The Beech 1900 is a great aircraft. I'm big Beechcraft fan and I use to own a Sierra and a Turbo Baron. But there is nothing wrong with the J-32, its 2-1 seating is better and they also have a restroom onboard, the 1900 does not. The oldest J-32 are 1992s and like I said have lower time on them then the 1900s out there. The ones you saw in the desert (Kingman) are no longer there, most were x-American Eagle.

From: Happily coasting in the left seat until it ends.
I have firsthand knowledge of this operation.
Don't get your hopes up. It may never fly, and they've been working 5+ years for a cert.
They haven't been looking for J32's. None are in the states that are anywhere near flying condition.

When did they put a restroom in the Jetstream? The 2-1 seating did come in handy when one poor lady saturated her seat cushion and moved to the dry, vacant seat next to hers. The lav would have been nice while I was flying them.

Sounds like it would be a cool deal if it ever got off the ground. I always thought it would be fun to to puddle jump around my home state. Anyone remember Conquest Airlines, for some reason as a kid I always wanted to work for them. Anyway I imagine the pay would be competitive with GLA

Small Community Airlines is working on getting service from Dallas Love Field, TX-Lake Charles Regional Airport, LA and now we hear-''American Eagle Airlines to Launch Nonstop Jet Service Between Lake Charles, LA., and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport'' American Eagle last served Lake Charles in November 2000. Now they want to go back! What do you think is going on?
