Good because I just purchased tickets from RSW to EYW on 1/11/09. I decided to spend the extra cash on the flight because the other option was a 3hr boat ride....yeah that might not go well!!! Since I am planning to give my girlfriend a ring on the beaches of Key West!

Now pilots...that's another story.

Seems to me there's going to be a lot of TDY going on this winter until we can get a couple classes through. But what do I know...I just drive.

A total of 10 more airframes are allegedly headed our way. There are lots of 402's out there. I'm confident that we will get just enought to make the operation work. Just.
Yeah, that first one is in paint. 407BK was in for pre-purchase inspection. The fact that it's back at Island tells you how that went! The boys are in AK right now.

So we have the first and last made C402s. Not sure if that's a good or bad distinction.

The Florida operation appears to end after Fantasy Fest - friends called today saying they were trying to book a flight over Christmas and Continental told them that the service ends in November.

A quick check on coair.com shows the flights do not exist anymore after October 31st.

I believe we are breaking free from Continental in FL and going back to branded CapeAir flying.

Nice, when is your class? I got the call about a month ago but still waiting for a class. I'm not at ATP mins yet so maybe I'll have to wait til after a Capt class goes through.

Edit: nevermind, after reading a little more carefully I see you're still in the pool. Did Gene give you any idea as to when there will be a class? With the STL flying starting Nov 1 I would think they will have to get a class together soon (?)
