Eastern Metro Express/Sunaire Express pilots?

freightdog · 11th May 2008, 22:06

Would like to get in touch with former pilots of Eastern Metro Express in SJU or STX (renamed Sunaire Express) that seized operations in July 1994.

Anyone who flew there or know someone who flew there, please let me know. Planning a reunion in SJU in 2009. Anyone know Dan Scarborough or Eric Johnson, I know they went on to fly for Continental Express.

Thanks for any info.

thanks

Had a mini get together in SJU last year with Jaime Richiez, Raul Varandela,and Ray Navedo. Good fun.

Well hello there...

I flew the Twotters out of STX from October 1986 to February 1988, then Evergreen hired me to fly the DC-8s.

Since then I moved to Dallas for 8 years working for various firms, then to Fort Lauderdale where I am right now.
Flying 757s and 767s for AA, but that seems pretty shaky right now.
Retured from a 4 year furlough October 2007 and probably facing another one this coming fall.

I was down there in STX a few months ago for R&R, nothing much has changed, but the hotel right next to Eastern Metro is gone, so is the sleazy in-keeper that kept showing porn flicks in the bar.

I stumbled across this post today. I flew for Sunaire in '92 '93. Ok, I drew a paycheck anyway..looking back Im not sure you could really call what I did flying. Ive forwarded the link to another sunaire refugee and would expect to hear from him soon... whats the latest on a get together?

Howdy. I flew out of SJU late 88 to about Sep 89, just before Hugo hit. Worked at Four Star also.

I know the whereabouts of 2 of my classmates, one in Georgia, the other in Hawaii.

I flew out of SJU (briefly) and STX from winter 88 through Sept 89 (left just after Hugo). Remember Eric and Dan very well. Both went to COEX (Britt), as did I (Rocky)...assume that they are at CAL now.

Ray Navedo is still in San Juan(not flying), Falcon is flying for Mountain Air Cargo last I heard, Lindell is with NW, Mayfield is with United, heard that Tom M. is with the FAA in Houston, but never saw him there yet. Jared Lee has given up aviation, and having a ball in Long Island, Lyons is with Continental. Still hear from Carl R. once in a while who's up at Brathens(can't ever spell is right). Mike Johnson was still in STX last I heard, and spoke briefly to Bill W. who was just about to get recalled by Unted last year.
Not sure what Jay G. is doing. Mike Moody is with UPS, and I believe Per W, Elize are there as well .

Got on with Express right after Hugo hit. I knew a lot of the guys that have been mentioned in this thread.
