Nah, not PFT, AFAIK. A lot of marginal carriers have started by requiring newhires to front money for stock or other "investment instruments". And then lost their shirts. It's just a warning, not specific to Legacy. Legacy had grand plans to operate international heavies, domestic medium haul service, and statewide RJ's out of.... Syracuse. Well, it could still happen.... ahem.
P.S. I'm flying a trip this week with Eagleflip. Who woulda thunk it?
