Default Anyone doing more Charters

Just wandering if anyone is seeing a recovery in their charter business, we thought we were but in the last month it has fallen off a cliff again. Just trying to get some positive news from someone, I just wander how long we can keep bouncing along the bottom.

I flew 1.1 Charter last month, nothing this month. We had a King Air flight this week. It's the only one so far this month. My Navajo has a 2 day next week, but I'll be out of town, so the D.O. will take it. It is rough! We are currently putting a Cirrus SR22 and a Diamond Jet on our certificate. I will dual qual in the Cirrus, and we have been quoting it pretty regularly. We already have 2 guys typed in the jet, but aren't getting many calls for jets.

And who was that charter company? I've seen a little action. So far this month I've done 6 charters....which isn't bad for a broker right now.

Our phones are ringing more but it hasn't translated to more trips. Just hoping late fall/winter season picks up.

Just took a look at our schedule. Most of what I see on there is 91 stuff and some scheduled runs. There are a few charters that look like they have been brought to us by brokers because the customer listed looks like another charter company.

Ever since Clunkers has ended I've fallen off.
