I heard the same thing. Pilots are paid per mile so this has to hurt.

What exactly do you mean by “they aren't flying”? Is business slow, or are they not operating?

 

[scribblescrawl]

Just that.. not flying

Not operating. FAA related.

Cherry's got an outstanding group of pilots, always have and I wish 'em well but if they shut down, it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of managers.

Well said

I totally agree with you there. Cherry has a great group of pilots and a couple of managers that have this coming to them. I feel for the guys that are having to pay financially for the stupidity of others.

[vallyman]

[bell47]

I don't know anything about them but they are advertising a&ps, avionics techs, and engine mechanics on climbto350 this morning.

I must have been under a rock. Cherry pilots set the record straight with what is actually going on. Guess I'll hear something on my next trip down south.

Hoping for the best for a great group of pilots!

Then how come Grand Scare is still flying their royal piece of $hits?

They must have someone @ the (DET) FSDO on their payroll!

Been uncommonly quiet from the Cherry crowd. I drove by the hangar in ADS the other day and it was sealed up tight. From what I hear around the airport, they ran into some trouble with the FAA concerning their maintenence. Better that it happen like this than a pilot getting hurt.

The hangar is always closed on Sat/Sun...

 

[falcondriver]

They are flying now.
