Wayne Heller's Sterling Airways Recieves Part 121 Cert, Approval to start Scheduled Ops.

Wexford's Sterling Airways, run by former Republic Airways COO Wayne Heller, received Part 121 certification as an EMB-145 operator on March 16th, and can resume scheduled ops. https://www.prweb.com/releases/sterling_airways_achieves_faa_certification_and_dot_approval_for_operations/prweb17798497.ht...

Re: American Eagle News and Discussion Thread

Maybe at some point Piedmont could operate the 170s because as you said the 145s are getting tired and EN rarely gets anything but secondhand birds. A new order is unlikely and without another option EN will no longer be an airline just a ground support company. Envoy is EQ not EN. Envoy is MQ, not...

Regional Jet Lessor AeroCentury Files For Chap 11 Bankruptcy

A signal of more to come, I believe. Between Repos, turnbacks, and looming interest rate increases, it is just going to worse for the lessors. Portfolio includes at least 12 planes. As of Feb 4 2020, they owned 20 aircraft, including Embraer ERJ-145/175's, Bombardier CRJ-700/900/1000 regional jets, ...

Re: Plane used for gender reveal party crashes in Cancun

Between the plane crashes, forest fires, and accidental home-made pipe bombs, these gender reveal parties are a friggin' public menace. How much pomp and circumstance do you really need for this? My thought exactly! Just have a simple baby shower and leave it at that (or use the money towards your ...

Re: US Airline Booking Trends during COVID-19

April event in FL, that is related to a bigger summer event in WI. This is an airline forum. I’m pretty sure we all know what two events you are referring to. Honest question, why not say the names? I’m generally curious, not trying to be that person. It is an airline forum, but the percentage of G...

Delta 757 Utah Jazz Charter Bird Strike/Engine Fire at SLC Tuesday

Surprised that this wasn't already noted: DL 757 severe bird strike on Takeoff from SLC with the UTAH Jazz Basketball Team aboard. Struck a flock of birds, resulting in a cracked nose cone, and what appears to be catastrophic engine damage on the left side. No Human Injuries, representatives of the ...

Re: EAS at Jackson, Tennessee switching from Air Choice One to Boutique Air

DEN / DFW / ORD seem to be the EAS destinations. Makes sense with all of the connections available. SkyWest has been chasing the EAS or other subsidized routes hard in the last year. Makes sense for them, they own the aircraft outright, as well as the training chain, and have a ton of slack in the ...

Re: EAS at Jackson, Tennessee switching from Air Choice One to Boutique Air

ACO is getting squeezed out of the EAS program due to complete lack of connectivity. JBR and BRL come up for renewal end of 2021 or beginning of 2022 and that should spell the end of ACO , at least in the commercial airline business I'm sad to see Air Choice One getting squeezed out. I've had two t...

Re: Midway (Southwest) Airlines History

Big difference between MDW in the mid-late '80s and DET. I flew a bunch through DET with Pro Air, and the two are nothing alike in terms of facilities, runways, traffic mix, (and birds!), etc. DET would have required a big investment. IIRC, it had two (maybe 3) gates with jet bridges as late as the...

Re: What's Going on Here? ORD-GSP

It appears to be a Flightradar24 error. The aircraft N908AE that operated 4267 northbound is now flying ENY3548 ORD-CWA, which the map reflects. It does all show correctly in FlightAware, which is known for it's own occasional boo boos, but not this time. Flightradar didn't update the aircraft to t...

Re: How to know the planned flight route?

They’re all filed in advance, the filed plan and the clearance are usually close of the same, but at times differ entirely. The flight plan is, in Canadian speak, “center stored” where it comes from to Flight Aware, once the clearance is issued, it refreshes with the actual cleared route. In the US...

Re: WN launching MYR with 10 cities

This is very good news for MYR. Now, I wonder when WN will finally belly up and serve a very similar market, DAB? DAB has one big barrier that MYR doesn't - leakage to nearby MCO. I live in DAB now and the level of service MCO offers will continue to be DAB's weakness. My family lives in MYR and I ...

Re: United Announces Major Expansion at CVG

This isn’t a major, sustainable expansion. This is UA trying to mimic G4 but using idle RJ capacity. Enjoy summer 2021 dart board routes while they last. Is it all Commutair? Some of these look like Republic (especially HHH), and Air Whiskey bread and butter runs, as well. Lots of spare midday capa...

Re: Breeze - News and Discussion Thread - 2021

Yeah I'm betting on seeing them at ISP. I'm hoping they choose SFB over MCO for a SE base. I know it's further from Disney, but it's closer to some of the beaches than MCO. Granted they're loaded with competition regardless of whether they choose SFB or MCO. I'm surprised they didn't try a differen...
