They seem like a bottom-feeding operation pilot-wise, but it sucks to see more MD-11s likely to stop flying in the near future...

I’ve seen a few of them out and about over the last couple days

How many 74’s do they have? Maybe a few more acquisitions of the queen in your shops future?

I don't think we want any more BCF 747s. The 777 seems to be the future here if the rumors are correct.

WGA got on my radar because I started noticing their all white 747s and MD-11s mysteriously showing up in the evenings at MHV, parking adjacent to the boneyard for a few days and then disappearing again. It seemed like some shady business was afoot…

…but after checking some flight tracking websites, it appeared they were just flying LAX trips to/from Europe or Asia, then ferrying the airplanes to the desert for cheap long term parking. Those late night van rides from MHV back to LAX must have suuucked!

haha what a terrible ride. Maybe Desert Coach earned their name on those trips?

Nothing against their pilots, but none of us in Elvis land will be disappointed those POS MDs won’t be on the ramp this Christmas

They did the same up here at KMCC outside of Sacramento. I noticed the white tail 744s sitting on the ramp then would depart to ICN/TPE. Turns out they were just parking them there for cheap compared to LAX.
