confirmed from a CA buddy of mine, he actually delivered one of the 208s to the bank and had someone come pick him up to drive him home.

Exactly... Mods please move this thread to the 135 section as Seaport is not a "regional".

They lease everything.
One of the leaseholders had ten-ish of their airplanes. There was a thirty day clause before they could repossess them in case of a "disagreement". Well, the powers that be never let on to that fact when the clock started ticking, so it was a big surprise for the employees. All of the CA operations ceased about ten hours after the airplanes were repossessed.
They're down to two in PDX, w/ one other stuck in SAN awaiting repair, and three-ish in Memphis.
They hope to recover, but past preformance of mgnt. is a bit "sketchy" .
Fat on FO's, short on CA's. Turnover is high.
Good luck guys.

MOD INPUT: Scheduled & EAS is "airline", not "charter" so it can stay here. Same as Lakes.

We do ourselves a disservice to pretend it doesn't exist.

You know your company is cheap when they reinterpret the "away from base" for more than 24 hours in order to get per diem to include the 24 hour clock resetting every time you touch your base.

Interviewed there as a 500 hour CFI. They said no after I made some dumb nerves-induced interview mistakes. Best thing that never happened to me. Every friend who went there hated it.
