[August 03, 2011] - Seattle, Washington - Legend Air Virtual Corporate Offices

The date has been set. On Friday, August 5, 2011 at 3:00 PM EST, Legend Air Executives will be meeting on the Teamspeak 3 server to discuss the budget as well as possible expansion. This will be a major step forward for Legend Air as a whole, and will hopefully provide all of our members with the chance to experience more destinations as well as get the chance to earn type ratings in new types of aircraft.

Pilots and the general public are welcome to join the staff on the Legend Air Teamspeak during the meeting to be filled in about what is going on during the meeting. After the meeting the Executive staff will remain in the lobby to give statements and answer any questions afterward.

It is rumored that Legend Air will be looking into ordering more aircraft to mainly compliment the current fleet. The aircraft included in the rumor are Boeing 747-882i's, Boeing 787-882's, Boeing 777-282LR's, as well as additional Boeing 737-782's and Boeing 737-882's.

The meeting also has the topic of new destinations on it's agenda as Legend Air's Tory Hollins states,

"I am excited about the movement, It will be very good for us. We will be discussing adding new destinations to our schedules providing extended service to Asia, Europe, Alaska, and adding new service to Australia. We are looking to unveil 15-20 new destinations for our new fleet additions."

Legend Air Executives met yesterday to discuss the future expansion of the airline as well as new destinations. After almost an hour of discussion, they decided on the following expansion plan for Legend Air.

New Routes:

  • From Boston Legend Express will now service KSYR, KDCA, and CYYZ.
  • From Boston Legend Air Mainline will now service KDCA, KMDW, KCVG, KCLT, KATL, KMEM, KMSY, CYYZ, LEMD, LSZH, LOWW, LPPT, GCXO, LPMA, ENGM, and LGAV.
  • From Orlando Legend Air Mainline will now service KCLT, KCVG, and KMDW.
  • From Seattle Legend Air will now service YSSY, YMML, YPPH, PAKT, and PASI.
  • From San Diego Legend Air will now service YSSY, YMML, and YPPH.

Legend Air will be re working the rest of the routes and to incorporate the new ones, they have decided on the following fleet plan. Legend Air has put in orders for the following aircraft to be delivered late 2011/early 2012.

New Fleet:

  • 5 – Boeing 747-882i’s (To phase out the current 747-482M’s).
  • 10 – Boeing 787-882’s.
  • 10 – Boeing 777-282LR’s.
  • 10 – Boeing 737-782’s.
  • 15 – Boeing 737-882’s.

Legend Air Executives have also started to plan a new ranking system that will no longer be completely hour based. The new system will be based on a mixture of flights and general aircraft/aviation knowledge. More details will be released on this later as it would not be instated until the new fleet additions arrive.

Legend Air now has the following Staff Positions vacant:

  • Eastern Operations Manger
  • Western Operations Manager
  • Assistant Eastern Operations Manager
  • Assistant Western Operations Manager
  • Marketing Manager/Public Affairs
  • Express (CAT I) Chief Pilot
  • Light (CAT II) Chief Pilot
