Default Any Info on IFL and ROYAL AIR in Pontiac, MI?

Wondering if anyone has the scoop on either of these two companies located at KPTK - Are they hiring? Is the flying steady through the year? Hiring Mins? QOL? Pay Scales? Quality of Equipment (Mtx, etc.)? Upgrades...etc. Any info greatly appreciated. I think at least one member here (Bandit Driver) has worked for Royal and I was just wanting to get more insight as to similarities/differences between the two. Several of my instructor comrades have moved directly on to the Regionals but I am intrigued by the Freight world and the hours currently suit my my full-time graveyard shift as a Dispatcher. Thanks in advance for the info! Later...

Are you sure? Did you actually see the stake through the heart? Did the Hansas disappear in a puff of sulpher?

I was looking at Cargo ops around MI, and IFL came up, you just have to live pretty close to Pontiac.

Anyone have any experience with Martinaire out of LAN?

Lead management out of Texas, well, I'd just assume not comment. Local management people in Lansing are outstanding.

I was glad to find another job after working there after the Texas people bought out Superior.
