IFL has CRJs now...

[Tommay85]

Looks good as a freighter! I wish AMF would pick some up. I feel like CRJs are cheaper than Brasilias these days. The FAA didn't say yes, but they didn't say no to operating it under 135 either.

These replacing their Falcons?

Give it 5 years and they'll certify it single pilot for 135 freight.

I think they are replacing the Convair. They have a check airman based down here (always a legit source, right? ). I'll pick his brain a little

With Chieftain panels!

Well, at least someone found a use for them.

 

[Burrito]

I didn't know I could hate CRJs any more.

I'm trying to remember that flap AD that can really limit the load by requiring a lot more alternate fuel.

Sooo...only one pallet of rubber dog poo outta Hong Kong?

Keep those ERJ rumors alive!

If an airplane is still flown 121 in the U.S. it is too new for AMF to operate it, I am pretty sure that's in the opspecs.

For now they're "just an addition" but I'd be they'll eventually replace the Convair. Theres no sim for the Convair, and with the PIC type rule training costs are astronomical. Nobody want's CRJ's for pax stuff anymore, the CRJ's are super super cheap even after the door is cut.

IFL is pretty good at what they do. They've been working on getting these since before I was there. If they can figure out modern airplanes and remove FOQA stuff, it'll work out nicely.

Oh, geez . . . not the CONVAIR! Love that old bird.

Remove FOQA stuff? What does that mean?

I'm guessing it means that they don't want their flight ops quality assured.

It's 1980's freight...

Puma "Suedes", Jam Hammer soundtracks and multiple Swatches.

Puma "Suedes"

When I initially looked, I thought you'd typed something else entirely...

 

[Nark]

@amorris311 i'd say read between the lines. Perhaps read what Adler wrote up about being a freight dog.

You can fly a CRJ under 135 all you want. Today. FAA has no problem with it. Hell you can fly a 737 under 135 and they'll have no problem with it. In fact I can think of a few operators that do.

Class act, that operation...
