Talk:Primaris Airlines

I have been unable to corroborate the following statement:

Safety concerns:

It has recently come out that the company's ex-president twice had his pilot's license revoked related to his flying of an "unairworthy" aircraft, that the chief executive flopped in his last attempt to start an airline and that the 15-year-old plane (a 757) that they currently fly for the White House itself was damaged in a hailstorm a decade ago and spent most of the past two years mothballed in France.

I've searched google, google news, and yahoo for both "John Pearsall" primaris suspended and "John Pearsall" primaris revoked, returning unrelated results. In FAA terminology, revoked and suspended are very different, and if it's claimed to have happened to him twice - that means between revocations he's had to re-earn every single rating he had before, then lose them again. This is highly unlikely. A suspension is less severe and often accompanies an accident or incident investigation. -ericg ✈ 18:34, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Note- This information is not available in a searchable public record. The John Pearsall information may be able to be obtained from the FAA through the freedom of information act, but lawyers frequently cut deals to keep this information internal to the FAA.

Need info in the infobox

John Pearsall, originally the President of the company was asked to leave and is no longer employed by Primaris. After about 1 year from his departure he filed with the Las Vegas FAA to operate a charter airline using 757 and 737 aircraft. This is funded by Robert Lyle of California and will be called Elite Airways. Elite Airways Pre application originally indicated 737 and 757 aircraft, but is moving towards regional jet deliveries that they plan to market to the NASCAR teams, specifically Michael Waltrip Racing.

"New York"?

Does anyone know which of the three NYC-area airports Primaris will service? There's no indication on the company's Web site. --Jfruh 17:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Early indications are both Newark and Kennedy.

Company Website Needs Update

I've been checking their web site for the last few months off and on, and it hasn't changed. The expansion from charter to regular service was supposed to happen in 2006. It's now September and there's still no indication that I can find of when regular service might start. Indeed, the whole site seems largely unchanged. If the 787 order has been cancelled, that casts doubt on the web sites advertisement of 787 service to Europe.

In general, the article is heavy on things that the airline's marketing says will happen, as opposed to things that have happened or are actually happening. -Dmh 20:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

The company website states the "Our first planes are from the Boeing 737 family"..not 757's as listed. Can this be verified? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.34.158.66 (talk) 23:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC).

Primaris currently operates three B757-200 series passenger aircraft. N740PA MSN 24497; a 757-2G5 powered by Rolls-Royce RB211-535/E4 engines, N741PA MSN 24737; a 757-230 powered by Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines and N742PA MSN 24402; a 757-21B powered by Rolls-Royce RB211-535/E4 engines. All three aircraft offer different seating configurations and can be custom tailored to meet the customers requirements. The Boeing 757 is a very reliable, efficient and economical solution for today's market requirements where long haul narrow body aircraft are desired.

The web site is currently undergoing modifications to reflect current non-scheduled operations. STORMAIR 03:44, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
