Whats the deal with Alliance? They bring 2 pilots back or something?

Is Alliance placing a Falcon 20 in Smyrna TN, I saw someone was looking for a FA20 CP and 2 line captains there. Alliance was all I could come up with

I am sure he might be a good guy and he is actually a good stick, but he is a horrible business man. Still don't know how he made it this a far for so long. But I do know why he can't go anywhere else.

Kalitta Charters and Kalitta Air are two separately owned and operated companies.
Kalitta Charters and Kalitta Charters II share the same owner (Doug Kalitta). For several years the 135 side has floated the 121 side at Kalitta Charters. Now it appears that both sides are about evenly crappy but sustainable.

Active: Hell I hear they have a Falcon crewed one week and the next they don't. Regardless I don't call them for a Falcon. Kalitta is cheaper in YIP. I know they have a Stretch 9-30 up there....atpcliff is the one I get for availablity.

This week we have 4 crews and 2 freighters for the falcon 20(one in YIP and one in ELP). There's also a pax 20-5 avail this week as well. We have 4 other crews and 4 other 20s being used on contracts.
You should try us again, for the most part we usually have a 20 and at least 2 crews in YIP now. We have become way overstaffed in the last 2 months. If we don't have a falcon available it's because its on a contract or down for maintenance.
