Airnet Base closures

[IP076]

I think one of the main contributing factors in closing these runs is the fact that AirNet does not have the pilots to fly them. I have heard hiring is steady, class of 4 or 6 every two weeks. I've heard nothing official about the SIC program, just rumors on this board.

 

[HAZ-MAT]

A little of what IP076 said about closed bases. The DAL base is a pure Lear base now, contracted the prop runs out to Tele- however you spell it. A prop run out of NEW has been closed, but the other one is being chartered out till they can get a body out of class to fill it. I'm thinking that some of the prop runs that were closed are 1) to get the Be-58's to BHM, and 2) because we might be losing money on those runs.. and if we contract them out and fly a Be-36 or something it makes sense... kinda sucks for those people that were flying those runs... but most of those runs that were closed... those guys recently left for regionals/corporate positions elsewhere.. so nobody was really displaced.
