Three years is an INCREDIBLY long time in this industry to sit in a BE1900.

I wonder if that airline will last three years? Not many startups do.

That was my thinking also..3 yrs in a Beech 1900 whether a Capt or FO is a long time.

John I also wondered what would happen if their airline shutdown. I would try to have some clause put in to protect myself.

Yeah you may want to read the fine print on that one Tim

I'm waiting to see these 1900s flying overhead. So far I see Gulfstream and Air Midwest every day, but no other colors.

Hopefully they wont turn into another Discover Air fiasco. I would hope that all flight schools who want to have their own airline learned a lesson. Nothing wrong with wanting one just dont take from peter to pay paul.

Mr_Creepy · March 2nd, 2004, 19:34

Ahem, well Tim - Maybe you don't know. The guy that started Discover Air is the guy starting this airline.

Nudge nudge wink wink say no more ....

Well I know there a quite a few folks that were around Discover Air that are at Tab also. Does make you wonder why they think they can make it work flying around Florida out of DAB. Maybe they have a secret no one else has thought of yet..

The "secret" is they let you parade around in make-believe pilot shirt and captain's epaulets without holding an ATP Certificate. You get to down a pilot cover too! Makes you feel good and you can impress the women.

Hey I was ready to go out and cruise the malls and high schools when I got my Eagle uniform

You can turn that pilot hat upside down outside the mall, throw a couple of quarters in it, and sit next to it with a forlorn look on your face. Might even make more money, too.

i know that if the students get caught outside the building without there hat on they can get charged $10. can anyone say pathetic?
