1/17/2008 Denver, CO — Beginning our 10th year of operations, dealing with the explosive growth in the past couple years has made for some real challenges. In order to help address some of those challenges, the Board has authorized several management changes. Long-standing President and CEO Verne Cotton (MTN005)has become the Vice-Chairman of Board, and the Board has chosen Chad Nichols (MTN199) as the new President and CEO. The Board has also filled a vacancy with the appointment of Lloyd Clem (MTN1250) to one of the open at-large board seats. Congratulations to Verne, Chad and Lloyd!

11/21/2007 Denver, CO — Although late for our Canadian pilots, management wants to bid those celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States this week a wonderful holiday! To them and everyone else in the airline best wishes to you and your families!
11/5/2007 Denver, CO — Forum spam is getting as bad as e-mail spam and is the scourge of forum admins everywhere, so forum registration must sadly involve more steps. To sign up for the Mountain Air forum, click the Forum link on any MTN web page or go to forum.mountain-air.org. Once there, click the "Register" link and accept the agreement. Choose a username (preferably your MTN callsign) and password, enter your e-mail address and submit it. You will receive an automated e-mail message shortly. Click on the link in the e-mail to confirm your identity. This makes you a "registered user". However, since anyone can do this you must also apply for membership in the Pilots user group. Once approved you will be able to post to the forums as usual.
11/5/2007 Denver, CO — The web server suffered an outage in the fall of 2007 and some data was lost. Now that the site is back online we have several important items: 1) All PIREPs between August 13th and the server crash were lost. Pilots are encouraged to enter their missing PIREPs. For those who do not have a record of their PIREPs, simply press on by adding future reports. 2) All promotions after August 13th will need to be re-applied. Please note this may require you to enter PIREPs in order to obtain the pertinent required hours for promotion consideration.
11/3/2007 Corp Headquarters — The web server we had been running on experienced a hardware failure on October 20, 2007, and the server admin has not been able to re-install everything we need for the site to function properly. Consequently we are running on a temporary server until we can find a permanent home. While the hardware failure left the web pages intact, it seems to have corrupted the pilot and forum databases. Neither the server admin nor the hosting company has provided us with backup copies of the database files. Thus we are forced to start over with an empty forum. This is sad from a cultural standpoint, as many spectacular screenshots and humorous stories were lost. Time marches on, though, and we will soon have many more of these. More importantly, the pilot database we are starting with has no entries after August 13, 2007. New pilots, promotions, flight changes and PIREPs after that date were lost. Hub managers will be working with their pilots to re-establish their proper ranks and hours. The Member Services manager will also be closely involved in this effort. This sort of loss is extremely disruptive and unacceptable. Mountain Air management is working to find a more reliable server and a more responsive hosting company to prevent long outages from happening in the future. Notify the webmaster of problems!
7/13/2007 Denver, CO — Kevin Williams (MTN1492) has been hired as our new Dispatcher. Please welcome him to his new position.
2/5/2007 St. Louis, MO — The new regional chart map for the St. Louis hub is now available. Click here for all the maps!
