Got cut in half essentially and is small and getting smaller. Only reason we have it is for when Mesa drops the ball snd UA needs it staffed. Super senior.

I think they told us Skywest only bought the airplanes to attract students with shiny Archers lol.

I worked at TransPac all of last year and they had 8 students they said to test it out. The plan was to see how it goes and then expand it larger to different locations across the country, so we'll see. Transpac (international students) couldn't use those new Archers either it's a separate company technically. They offered instructor jobs to TransPac instructors and the syllabus was bring written for a 120 day program or something along those lines. Pretty much another ATP. As far as Skywest goes, not sure how much more they'll invest in it. It's still on the quiet side right now but I know they did kick it off in 2017.

No website or anything but you can see its trademarked already by the company who owns TransPac.
