Any News of More Classic 74s ?

With a couple of the more widely known 74 Classic operators rumoured to be looking for additional crews ( AAI said to have recruited some Classic crews recently ? ) does anyone out there have any news of more Classics coming back on the scene ?

It would be nice if there was a little more choice in potential companies / locations for us more ancient crews to look at.

It's a no-brainer...Take whatever you can get on the "Classic" and then you may be exposed to other opportunities as time goes on...

You missed the point, I'm afraid . . . I'm referring to "ancient crews" who don't WANT to go onto anything else in their last couple of years. Just looking for Classic operators, that's all.

UNITOP in China, if you don't mind working with SABOOR, if you don't know him then do your study.
Good luck,

Check out their website.........frequent flyers are called freeloaders and the tail of the plane has a (feathery not hairy) cock on it, I`ll bet if you turn it around there is a bull on the other side.

Aye, not holding my breath, and not sure what the wishful thinking comment is about..Just reporting the facts mam..

Baltia is plugging along getting their FAA operating certificate and been working on it for almost 2 years.
Classics to start with, then -400s.

Only 1 plane so far, an ex Northwest -200.
Time will tell if managment is poor or not, unless you know them personally and would care to elaborate?

I heard that one is back in the bone yards, corrosion in the main spar or some such thing.
