Dawn Airlines (Portland, Oregon)

[DMahon]

Has anyone heard anything about this upstart? I was contacted a while back by someone that was a part of "this new cargo airline Dawn Airlines". A spin off of people from Evergreen, from what I gathered. However, I have not heard anything other then "we are close to finishing terms with our investors". Just curious if this company has gained any ground yet....

DOH!

I guess I should check the google machine before posting, I answered my own question....

They are still looking for money...So we will see what happens. If they can get the money they do have a great bunch of guys to get it started.

[DMahon]

yes they do

I know 2 of the people involved and I'm hoping the best for them....

[sidman]

I am good friends with most of them and I wish them well. Also it means a job for me.

Is Dawn a spin-off of EIA or a group ex EIA employees striking out on their own. Are they looking toward heavy international stuff akin to the EIA model. Do ya think they might like some 727 freightdogs who just might be unemployed here soon??

[DMahon]

My understanding leads me to believe they're ex EIA. Also I was told it'll be another 747 operations, ala Atlas/American-Friendship/Focus/Polar, even though Focus never materialized and I don't know if American-Friendship did either.

[Intruder]

Focus operated for almost 3 years, based in Miami!

[DMahon]

oh yeah, that's correct. One of their tails was a 5Y a/c....forgot they did get it moving for a minute.
