Another 63 on the street at FLOPs

sorry for the typo

Position vs. Live legs?

Times must not be so bad at Flight Options after all.

Awarding a multi million dollar contract on the same day you furlough 63 pilots.

It looks to me like the furloughs are part of the contract negotiations.

I really do not know what you are looking at but this is a company in trouble.

i would bet my next unemployment check that flight options wont be around by the end of the year

Unfortunately, I agree with Publishers. Last year was a bad year for everyone, 2009 doesn't look that much brighter, and FLOPS seems more vulnerable than the rest.

Prob right, though I have emphatically believed the same for the last 10 yrs...

I too have been thinking that for years. I am sure they will tell us at least 5 minutes before they decide to close up shop.

With the current and future bizjet forecasts, your position on the bottom of the nja list seems quite vulnerable.

I have also thought they wouldn't be around for the last several years. Somehow they keep trucking. If they weren't planning to be around they wouldn't be throwing millions of dollars at F and H and painting all of the airplanes. Right? I do still think KR is in this for the short term to get what he can (beechjets) and that his plan is to kill the union, possibly by continually shrinking the company, then he can hire a bunch of new pilots to fly for a lot less.

Not that I care what you think, but no I'm not at the bottom.

As far as FLOPS "not surviving", I don't think we need to go there yet, hopefully things turn around soon, EVERY company out there needs that, majors, frax, cargo companies....
