Got a friend over at K4 and mentioned one maybe two more for the year. They have a class with 20+ ex ATA guy's right now and 10,000+ hours gets you a consideration (just what I have been told).

The main problem from what I have been told is that someone in the wonderful FAA decided to say that for every one fire bomb flight that would count as six airframe cycles!! This just seemed to be a figure the Fed's pulled out of the air. So the cost of MX goes way up.
Why would one slow pass...
Nothing like having "World Headquaters" so far removed from the operation. No wonder managers and owners sit in their glass bubble with no idea of what is going on with the operation and how quickly it is going down the tubes.
AWAC was a great compnay to work for then it changed like day to...
