Furloughs at Kalitta Air

[Kruger Stellman]

FYI. Southern Is not furloughing, in fact heard that southern might be hiring first of the year, also rumors around here is that we might be buying Kalitta ( just a Rumor)..

That is a classic! If I were you, I would not run out and buy a uniform just yet!

K.S.

What wrong with the Classic? O- wait, that right southern just took another contract from Atlas,(West Africa Airlines.) So the mighty 400's not working out....

LOL. Connie is no ordinary 'older gentleman'. He is one of the toughest old bastards you will ever meet.

Maybe Connie will do what he did last time the industry went to ********************:

1.) Sell to the highest bidder for top dollar.

2.) Watch the purchasing company go bankrupt shortly after.

3.) Buy the company back for pennies on the dollar.

I think you have to realize that Connie will do what's best for him .

Aviation is far better suited as a hobby than a job.

you have to be more specific. not many hobbyists flying around in airliners.

The Kalitta numbers will be substantially larger than that.

A post on another board is claiming 8 airplanes and 200 furloughs without naming a source. What a year.

200 mechanics have already got the axe.

Here is an article describing the situation:

What is Kalitta's financial strength? Is a Bankruptcy in their future or just a major cutback for 2009?
