Adios, Skybus...

I hope they get themselves a good contract. However ALPA is what you make of it, weak MEC, and LEC does not lead to much success in negations.
Where did you go after Mesa?

And can I say Mesa Suck.

Still paying back the credit card debt I incurred on those wages, trying to keep my family's head above water while being kicked from domicile to domicile...

Skybus founder 'working on a plan' to revive carrier

Skybus founder John Weikle is "working on a plan" to get the ultra-low-cost carrier back in the air again, according to the News & Record of Greensboro, N.C. Weikle's comments on reviving Skybus came just days after the carrier halted flights, stranded passengers and declared bankruptcy. "John Weikle said Monday night from Dayton, Ohio, that he had been working all weekend to build a team that could reorganize the airline and restore service," the News & Record writes. "I wrote a letter to the board today and said we've got to find a way to save this — save these 450 jobs," Weikle tells the paper.
How does he plan to do it? Weikle says the carrier still has about $10 million in cash to work with, which he believes will be enough seed money to lure new investors. The News & Record writes "Weikle is working with Mark Sparling, his vice president for finance during the founding of Skybus. Sparling and Weikle left Skybus not long before it began operations because they disagreed with the board’s direction and its choice for chief executive officer, Bill Diffenderffer." Stay tuned

It appears that fools and their money will soon be parted.

No thanks Mr. Weikle, I just burned a huge pile of money this morning. I'm all tapped out.
