What INTL flights? FLL-NAS hardly requires much planning... are you sure you have the right company?

Are you sure your not thinking of Gulfstream Corp? they will not be laying anyone off anytime soon...

They do a lot of Cuba charters also. I see their E-120 in Havana all the time.. Wouldn't wanna go in there "unplanned."

We (Eagle) do charters to 6 destinations in Cuba, from MIA. I think that they are huge money makers too!

Ok ok ya I guess a 90 mile flight is INTL

I believe Cuba is 90miles from Key West not Miami. And since when does mileage determine if a flight is INTL?

I gotcha, but I imagine that the planing for doing FLL - Gitmo or Havana is a whole lot of paper work and bull sh!t.

Cuba flying is fun. It is amazing how thorough their ground crew is! They are very overstaffed (of course) and still everyone works very hard to turn the plane.
