Cash flow needed!

Subject: Cash flow needed! Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:31 pm

Gentlemen Captains,

We have a good month going... $20M + in net which has covered our leases for next month and partially defrayed three AC purchases this month (which in the long run is VERY good for Rainbird)

We have several summer contracts for flights on the 744C and C17... I am asking if you are so inclined, to put down a couple of heavy freight flights... We yield between 900K and 1M per flight... Check out Pap's stats and Pireps and you will see what I mean...

There is a planeload of crabs and salmon needing transport to the Seattle market!! As well as Beef and beer from Colorado to Seattle and Winnipeg!! Right up the old Rainbird Alley!

I know not everyone flies the big heavies but if you do.... Can you do a couple for the good of the order?

Thank you very kindly!

Jeff jocolor

Jeff,
I've tried three flights in two days and VAFS has shot all of them down.

Hey.... who said I have CRABS? Gee, at least they pay good. Smile

Would love some more 747F hauls. I get tired of flying the circle. Why don't we extend them EAST?

KDEN to KMEM @ 754 NM and 1:50 flight
KMEM to KDEN
KMEM to KIAD @ 634 NM and 1:40 flight
KIAD to KMEM

this ought to net some big bucks and there is some fantastic scenery available.

Well I can now die a happy man. Rex in a 747F. I saw it with my own eyes. In fact we are now ordering drinks at Radisson Inn at the Airport. We may have to ditch these rooms for something downtown; maybe, the Peabody. With that extra cash flow, we may need to enjoy the nightlife. I am sure we can find something wrong with those old 747's the boss has us flying.

Yes sir, the Peabody would work nicely, Pap. I believe we deserve that type of treatment for helping with the bottom line this month Very Happy

Put in a few 747 runs between DEN-MEM-IAD this weekend that should help the bottom line Very Happy

Many folks don't know that MEM is a busy cargo field. There is a lot of freight moved through in a days time. It serves as a great link between truck, rail, ship, and air....

As Pappy points out, with customs clearance located on field for international flights and three long parallel north/south runways, plus a long east west runway, it is a great field fopr both pax and cargo ops. Being centrally located in the U.S., she is an ideal hub for flights.
