Ravn getting 757 to fly to Asia and lower 48?

[BobDDuck]

This is a bit of an odd one.

Ravn says it's eyeing flights to Asia and the Lower 48

Ravn Alaska’s chief executive said this week that the airline is looking to expand its service beyond Alaska to the Lower 48 and Asia, using Boeing 757…

They have an absolutely unblemished record flying around Alaska, don't see why they couldn't handle 75s, landing rights, gates, foreign regs, etc. What could possibly go wrong? I'm investing the kids' college fund as I type.

Oh, look. Rob McKinney.

Ravn/McKinney also announced that they were buying a fleet of electric planes. The accompanying picture showed a concept aircraft with ten (!) electric motors. I’m sure they won’t have any trouble keeping those running in the sub-Arctic [sarcasm]. It seems to me that McKinney is channeling P.T. Barnum.

I mean, Mesa has 737s. Pretty much anything can happen.

I mean, yea. Trump was elected. I half way expected the UFO report released the other day to say “aliens are real, and living among us.”

PT Barnum was intelligent.

I feel like anyone trying to obtain 757s these days will face the full wrath of the UPS/FedEx monster unless it has Rollers.

Y'all hear the one about Prime Air wanting to add ATRs to their fleet?

Sherbet sounds phenomenal!

Rich Cole is still part of it too! The entrepreneurial genius who couldn’t make money flying 207s to GST and HNH.

It's the "dream team."

I don't want to get too personal. It's easy to make errors in business, especially running 135 stuff in AK. But some people have blood on their hands, as well as destroyed companies in their wake.

Huh, "purple sherbet" is apparently a popular variety of marihuana. In a Google image search, the first page is all photos of dank nuggies.

At least their CFIT accidents will finally make the news with a 757
