Ok, somebody has some explaining to do!

Didn't Corpac just take Avia, and now I find a pilot ad for Air Sprint saying they bought Avia and now need piaggio pilots?

Nope. Avia owner bought Corpac and dropped the avia name. Now he's taking his piaggios and new hangar over to Sprint. Not sure if Sprint purchased the planes, hangar and options, but it is a smart move since corpac wasn't doing shit to get business for the piaggios and JM runs a damn good show.

PCC say's they bought avia and the aircraft. Nothing about the hanger yet but they say that is included in the deal.

PCC Notes:
AirSprint Inc. has purchased Avia Aviation and their Aircraft. We will be Crewing for these spots immediately, please send your CV/Resume ASAP.

4 piaggio p180
4 piaggio Avanti 2's ( on order )
1 Hanger

All owned by AirSprint now!

Brings the fleet to 20

Bring the on-order-fleet to 27

Cheers,

27 is just the piaggio and jet orders> Don't forget the 20 PC-12's on order. I'll hand it to them, I never saw this market for fractional in Canada.

WOW, INTERESTING

Seems like they are moving again then cause things aren't working well. I guess Sprint will pretty much solve the problems then.

Only 3 piaggios. C-GPIA is a managed aircraft and will be flying away soon....

Naya apparently the orders breakdown goes:

3 more C56X
20 Pilatus NG
4 Piaggio 2's

What's starting pay for a P-180 captain?

co-joe · Post by **co-joe** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 3:59 pm

It was 42-50 last week. Who knows what it'll be next week with the move?

sprucemonkey · Post by **sprucemonkey** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 5:11 pm

Most of the captains are making the same as the excel captains.....60K.

C-FOXY · Post by **C-FOXY** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 5:12 pm

The ad doesn't list minimum requirements....anyone know what these are?

co-joe · Post by **co-joe** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 5:53 pm

YYC market so they'll want contrail...

ATPL, 3000 TT, 1500 PIC, 1250 ME, 750 MPIC, 150 Turbine

NAYA · Post by **NAYA** » Sun Dec 24, 2006 6:29 pm

AirSprint flies very little if any charter. As well they do zero oil patch work. I'm still unaware of the mins they are looking for, but Contrail req's are not required. They may want that kind of time but not because Contrails says so.

care to explain more?

Apparently CORPAC was very unprofessional and AVIA was embarrassed to have thier pilots and planes under their name.
