Captains,If challenging weather, short runways, mountain terrain and flying in some of the finest, most beautiful areas on earth appeals to you....Then please check out "Rainbird Airlines."This is not a new VA but an expansion on my four year long quest to bring excitement and challenge to pilots the world over. We are long on adventure and short on bureaucracy. All pilots join as Captains and we take 100% transfer hours. New to VA's? No problem...come live and learn with Rainbird!Another exciting factor is that we use VA Financials as our administrative base. It is an easy to use flight reporting client with many features that large, well established VA's use. We are a proud VAFS VA! (thank you Mike!)We require no special scenery and use a mix of freeware and payware aircraft alike. There should be something here that appeals to all pilots... Please take a moment and check us out. Questions? Please ask... We also will have an extensive codeshare with TexAir VA... From "Mexico to Point Barrow"...sound good doesn't it? Wanting to really enjoy your Alaska-Canada mesh? Your Tongass, GB2 or Misty Fjords add-ons? Not quite sure how a 737 fits in this rough bush country?.. Thinking about a white knuckle snowy approach down the valley from Carcross to the Whitehorse ILS? Well, what are you waiting for? Go take a look! Our official opening days is July 1st but feel free to join now if you like adventure and challenge!http://www.dogcreek.allwebco.com/index2.htmlFrom our Turbine Beavers, Dash 8's, all the way to the mighty Combi-73G...Rainbird is there!! Hope to see you soon! Jeff Stewart RBD001

TexAir is indeed happy to have Rainbird as a new partner, and it could not have come at a better time. TexAir has been down for a few weeks now in order to restructure things around the airline. We were going to have to remove all hubs except Austin; but with our arrangment with Rainbird, not only do we get to keep our other favorite market in the Pacific Northwest, but we also get to go places we've never flown to before. Plus, you gotta love their colorful "easter egg" livery. ;-)
