more Ameriflight....

I dont see OAK lasting too much longer as a base. They keep loosing the PA31 work, and theyre down to what? 2 99 runs and a metro run? It could almost be run as an outstation once all the PA31's are gone... unless they plan on competing with Martex and Boxer for those UPS runs.

Most people are going to PDX out of training these days. There haven't been too many new faces in OAK. Personally I would rather fly in PDX as it is cheaper living.

I get it now. It's the standard in this segment of the industry. The monkey suit is standard for airline pilots. Cargo pilots uniform should be.... wait for it..... Cargo shorts.

Im not gonna lie. I see the Redding Aero guys show up in Tommy Bahama shirts and shorts. Some guy was even wearing flip flops. Sooooooo nice when we are sweating our butts off in a tie lol.

Plus, their 402s have sweet avionics, LED lights (not that important, but really, it's the little things) and a few of them seem to have fresh paint. And, uh, having flown a 402 before, I gotta say it's a much nicer flying airplane than the PA31.
