My condolences to those losing their jobs and then having to watch people take joy and make bets about it on here.

My thoughts exactly Rudy, they may not be the best place but they are by far not the worst, lets hope in todays market those pilots will find work in short order.

A lot of companies in Ontario need guys too. Thunder, Wasaya, NAC, Wabusk, Commercial, Bravo all have empty seats. Many of these are now offering increased salaries and better schedules to attract pilots. I'm sure there's more.

Who are these "reliable" sources? How much truth is there to this? I spoke with 2 of their employees today and neither one of them had any idea they were going out of business.

heropsychodreamer that is why it is going to hurt so bad when it does happen in 13 days. No one will believe it or see it coming until they go to do their walk around on the jetstream and realize it either has one of them parking meter hubcaps on it, or is being towed away, the plane is gone or the doors to the hangar are locked. You won't hear from anyone from upper management right out, you will hear from the other guy that you don't have a job anymore. Good luck to all in your careers.
