Skyward Update

Post by wheeler »

Just an update

Skyward Aviation Limited and its owners have filed papers,in these papers they are disputing the monies owed former employees.
There will be a "referee" appointed by Ottawa and former employees will receive a letter concerning this. It then becomes the former employee's responsibility to call/meet with the referee and state their cases. There is a possibility if enough former employees contact the referee-they could come to Thompson to hear the case.
Again, it will become the employee's responsibility to call the referee

Just one more screw in the coffin!!!

There was always so much love from FB and the boys.

So, based on the fact that many of the employees have probably moved a few times since the whole fiasco went down and the letter will likely get lost in the mail, where does one find out more information on this "Referee" and how to get a hold of him/her?

We will all have to help each other get the info out----some of us were lucky enough to find other work close by and will do the best we can to get the message outl

Just so we don't forget. we all worked damm hard and got little thanks--but that is what we get for working for people who claimed to be christians and stood up and preached thou shalt not steal-- my odds are they will blame someone else

should have known-----but we will see where it all ends

More to the story

Post by Crackberry »

Some of what you have to say is correct some is not. What I know is that the former Directors of SGK are not off the hook. Yes there is no more Skyward but the Feds are going after them personally. The debt that is owed to the employees is not that of Skyward Aviation anymore, but now belongs to FB, KB and GP. So when FB starts something up again and begins to collect a pay check the Gov't may go directly after that to pay off his debts. The problem today is that they have appealed the decision as expected. But the appeal required them to put the money up front before the appeal would be heard. So by now the Gov't has the money but the process has been prolonged till heard by the appointed referee. That's what I know for sure.

I was just curious, there were rumors going around of FB starting a new company. Does anyone know the details. I had heard about a medivac only company. Where will it be based? YTH YWG? what's the company's name.

thanks

I had heard the same rumors. Something about doing medivacs in Ontario, but this new company would be under his sons name. Not sure if there is any truth to this though?

Skycare eh? Sounds too familiar.

Wasn't there a time frame set up that FB couldn't operate a business?

Who's gonna work for that piece of crap anyway? I can't wait to see who has the low self worth to go work for a scumbag owner like that knowing full well that many people out there have been screwed over and that the same might very well happen to them at anytime. Besides that, just think of your own safety. Those planes were grounded for a reason and who knows whats gone on for the last year.

Just a few notes--been away a while--Skycare was a division of Skyward Aviation and I can't see this being the new name--maybe someone knows for sure--Heard Red Lake, Ontario and Kirkland Lake mentioned as the base. House in YTH pretty empty looking one son at INCO. Skyworld comes to mind as a name I heard a while back from this """assistant"""" or whatever.

I beleive DD is in Kirkland Lake and was the owner of SJP--and a good christian cohort of FPB.

Keep up the thread, so we don't lose anyone when we hear what is going on with the REF.

Heard his Ontario Skycare Manager is giving him a helping hand, the weasel
grease ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SkyCare, well the Conquest SKG with the big Star of life on the tail and SkyCare below the door is registered to a numbered company in Sudbury. It has been in Winnipeg for a while, that's the Conquest that never left the hands of the former management of Skyward and who also bought a Lifeport at his own auction that is for a conquest. And a final little tid-bit, the former Skycare Paramedic manager lives in Sudbury and is supposed to be working with the former Skyward owners still. And they already had all the paper work and plans to base an Ontario medi-vac plane in Red Lake, as that was supposed to be one of the expansions prior to being shut down.

So I wouldn't be suprised if they are trying to start a medi-vac operation in Ontario again. Have fun if you go work there, they owe enough people money maybe you could be one more.

I remember many moons ago I had to have a time out from Avcanada because I said somebody at Skyward was a poor example of a good christian. His/her intials have a B and an F in them in no particular order.

Wow, I'm sure glad I still don't have egg on my face.

PS. I'm curious to the fate of a few ex-skyward folks. If you ever lived at 27 queens bay, or had a nickname of "Moose" and was from ontario, send me an PM and let me know what your up to.

Cheers.

Explains a few other things I have been wondering about. Some folks had a phone number update from "the assistant to the president" a while back starting with the area code 705--and having lived in the Sudbury regions, I know that is the code.
Any one heard if the students from the flight school in Ontario that went "bankrupt" ever had their case resolved?
The likeness gives one to ponder who Skyward had on board as their "management team and for all we know still does!!!!!!!!!!! There were some former students at Skyward that were involved in that case and recognized one of the former owners of that company being employed at Skyward. Any thoughts/information on that?

Just Curious

I am new to the forums but have been reading for a while. I thought someone suggested we contact a lawyer and go after the assests. Has anyone made arrangements to pursue this? If so please keep me informed.
