Hi!

IFL has RVSM Falcon 20s that also have Garrett engines. They are AWESOME!

The USAJet falcons have RVSM and GPSs. They are getting all GPSs with color moving maps (KLN-94).

The callout, if you're flying freight, is 25". U get a 25" callout about 25% of the time-the rest of the time it's longer-even up to a couple of days notice.

If you're flying PAX reserve, it is a 2 hour callout. If you are a regular PAX pilot flying the schedule there is no callout. During NCAA season there is a 6-month schedule, and the rest of the time it's monthly-mostly 6 on/4 off.

USA Jet is planning on adding MD-8xs and/or 737-400s or better down the road. The MDs may come quick, the 737s at least 18 mos away-more likely 30 mos.

10 DC-9s flying now and 6 Falcons. Used to have 12/12. Also: 1 PAX Falcon 20, 1 PAX Lear, and 1 King Air. They are used to shuttle the -9 PAX crews back and forth, and for DV flights.

Oh, they also operate 3 -9s, 1 G-III, 1 Lear-35 and 2 Twin Otters out of ABQ. Separate operation-gov't contract. -9s are changing to 737s soon.
