AirNow is a cargo only air carrier. Our primary customers include UPS, DHL, and several banking institutions. We operate under FAR Part 135 and most of our flying is done on schedules which are published well in advance. Typically pilots are assigned routes which originate in the evening and terminate at the same base in the morning. After the evening leg, the pilot will be housed for the night in preparation for departure the next morning. The above description is a very generalized job summary. Actual schedules, duty times, and rest periods will vary from run to run. Often pilots will be required to take on some additional flying, when their schedules permit.
