Re: New Pacific Airlines News and Discussion - 2024

Arizona took a Hillwood 737 to SJC for the start of their last road trip of the season. For most NHL teams there is only 4-5 games left in this season. Of the teams that had iAero only Dallas and Carolina look like a good bet to make the playoffs.

Re: iAero Group files bankruptcy

Maybe use GlobalX or Avello. Most NHL teams use business class configured aircraft, I doubt Avelo will spend the money. Looks like Global X has a couple of aircraft that can be switched for the NHL/MLB. Delta also has specially configured B757 aircraft that could also do the job. They do and they d...

If he had only tried to break into the cockpit, the FAA might give him a pass. But a pilot suffering from a diagnosable and treatable form of mental illness? BANNED FOR LIFE! This is why a smart pilot wouldn't use the airline health plan, but rather pay cash to a provider for treatment to avoid det...
