They even started repainting them and dang, they looked as sharp as IFL's DA20's.
Yea one of them almost looks as good as ours but remember the difference between our Falcons and a run of the mill freighter Falcon is only about $3.5 million dollars each. LOL i know im a prick i just have to brag a little you just dont see equipment like ours used for freight. What can i say i take pride in my company and the equipment I have the privelage of "playing with" You can flame me I deserve it.

Or you mean not throw the boxes you dont touch them now UPS takes care of everything. You shoulda stuck around Jon without going into to much detail its a hell of a gig now. I always liked it even before the schd stuff but now it really is all gravy. I think you would have really enjoyed it man. How is life at XJ?

Ha i wish there are no more kits avaliable. If someone else wants a garret powered freighter they have to buy a corporate one rip out the interior and put a door in. Not to many people out there willing to spend $5 million on a freighter, especially in todays market.

You got it!! Mr. Netter (another good fmr Grand Aire worker) got me an internship/ job shadow with Grand Aire in hs because he knew (went to hs with his son) I wanted to be a pilot. That’s where I met Dave, as a young teen I thought he was the coolest...and he still is!! When I should of been in the engine shop learning I was hanging with Dave.....learning lol. I can say I learned allot about aviation and 135ops from him. He had a true love for flying! Grand Aire had allot of potential, but hey what do I know...

Hi!

Error in my previous post.

I was talking about "Trans North Aviation" and somehow got them mixed up with North Country. TNA is based in Eagle River, WI.

Sorry, I guess being laid off has scrambled my brain???!!!???

Mesaba is good. Yea I would have for sure liked it more the way it is now then when I was there but I'm happy at XJ. They treat me good, living 15 minutes from DTW and I get 1 1/2 hour call out so its cake even on reserve. The CRJ-900 keeps me on my toes, great airplane. Who knows when I'm 23 if I'm not close to upgrade I might start considering options. Shouldnt be a problem but 4 1/2 years and thousands of SIC hours might be my breaking point!
