Champion shutting down / being sold

[On Your Six]

Sorry to hear about Champion. Not too surprising. At least some of you guys got some 727 time - not that that is any consolation.

Good luck.

Working Stiff is in the loop. Although, the union's stance is that no sale can be done without a contract signed for the pilot group. Also keep in mind that this is the standard DOOM & GLOOM of management since the last negociation session has been completed. Champion will be seeing TONS of guys leaving now. This winter will be a total cluster.
Should be interesting when an NBA game gets cancelled because a team is stuck somewhere.
Where you off to Workin??

I've got a Beechjet instructor position callin' my name at FSI - TOL. Champion was nice while it lasted.

I'm going to miss the crews... I'm going to miss the airplane... I think that's about it.

I ask this in all sincerity: why in the world would you want to work for someone who's given you this runaround? I mean, if it was a six-figure-a-year job, that's one thing, but this is not, and almost everyone else is hiring. What gives?

Yes, you are right! It is time to cut bait and move on. I sent some more resumes out and already have some good prospects. I would love if they called me now so I could tell them to screw off!!
