Are those guys asked to ferry broken airplanes as well? (the SYR/ITH guys)

I knew one of those bases did the morning orf run. Every base gets the chance to ferry broken planes, lol. SOme bases like HEF, ALB, and CHO get it worse than others.

I know that all of the bases wind up repositioning occasionally but usually only when their own plane breaks. I think if you get a maintenance base like ALB or HEF and HYA for the Beech you have to do all the test flights and deliveries to the other bases.

Also, the maintenance bases have to go and fly another bases flights if they break. Seen the poor guys in HYA do that more than once.

HYA and then ALB..... oh man you must have had a blast!:D Although you could have had HEF.

Speaking of HEF, is that still only maintenance or are they doing 121 out of there. It looked like there were a couple of United flights out of there (flight 5217 I think) but I wasn't sure.

it ain't a passenger flight! they only ferry back to IAD then it may be 5217!
