I just read the post. Kind of sucks but it wasn't meant to be.

 

So I got a call for an interview after seeing a similar article, does anybody have an insider forecast of what this means for the company? Are they actually still bringing pilots onboard or just training a pool of pilots for after they emerge from chapter 11?

 

It is very unlikely they will emerge from bankruptcy. They are getting ready to down size again. On March 17th they shut down their most profitable route, PDX to OTH. Its already been picked up by Penair. That will leave only PDX to PDT in the PNW. They currently have 7 captains for that 1 route. You do the math. And PDT management is already looking for a replacement for Seapot.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Is KS going to pick up that one too?

I think you are right about that. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see this Chapter 11 become a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

 

I haven't heard anything about it. It all depends on TSA. TSA didn't want to put people there, so for now we had to put it on hold.

 

Just bring TSA along for the ride, Adak style.

 

Well done sir!
