Perhaps, they have Pan Am Airlines, but I doubt that even makes enough to be considered a "Class I".

QUOTE: Originally posted by CaptainChuck Go down to the "Table of Class I's". Why is Guilford listed? They don't make enough to be a class one do they? I mean they don't even have a fully upgraded mainline or really nice engines or anything.
