Fascinating.
It's probably "wrong" on my part to blame the equipment, then. I wonder...
Not saying they didn't have their issues. They were just safer than Ravn/Hageland and Grant based on the data available. While on a per flight hour accident rate Yute came out as safer. However with less flight hours than the others. % wise they were apparently safer.

Why lease sleds? Literally the cheapest commercial aircraft out there.

If they are I would imagine all leases go to a LLC run by a principal in Yute.

Its....complicated.
Again, it's complicated. I've tried to expound a little before and basically got told by one or two of the usual trolls that I didn't have any idea what I was talking about and gave up.Fascinating.

My understanding was that at least some of the aircraft are leased from Rob of Robair Repair but I could be wrong.

Cable knows what's up
That's how literally every company I know of up here works - airplanes are leased from a holding company Most places

Typically owned by a few of the company higher ups from what I've heard.

Is that like Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration?
Hopefully consolidation will cut down on competition a bit and lead to less pressure on pilots to fly.

Isn't that exactly what you have been doing for years? Managing a 135 in Alaska?

I had to google that one. No, Rob makes and sells 206/207 parts.

@Derg once told me to get up on that soapbox, son.
I care. (As it turns out, I seek to understand operations different from those that I've already done.)
Get up on that soapbox, son.

No one of consequence
I'm concerned about Mamma Blue's inter village travel. I'm really looking out for her interests here.

I'll take a quick stab at tldr'ing it. A lack of accurate wx forecasting or reporting coupled with a lack of ifr infrastructure makes options complicated. Throw in on top many gps approaches don't get you much below SVFR and the wx feces unexpectantly hitting the rotating disc and you get the picture.

I found this to be pretty interesting.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the name RAVN somewhat sinister and evocative of mercenary contract outfits? (I've seen the place so I know it's more like Austin Powers, but for the uninitiated...??)

Oh, snap! New Contest!
I'll give my next Avfuel receipt points to the best solution to the RAVN acronym.
You know, like...

Rural Absquatulators Venturing North, or... like that

I think it's a terrible name, but that's just me - I liked Hageland and Era and Frontier way better in terms of branding, but that's just me.
