What is up at Cherry Air??

[dhawk41]

I am still scaring myself there. I have not heard the March rumor is it from a accurate source?

He hired me the first time. The environment was totally different then. You flew your butt off and flew back to Dallas. You climb down the ladder and there was another crew ready to go. I wish it was still like that for you guys.

Sorry, forgot to give up my source. The info was from a pilot that still works there. So you guys probably know better than I. My info could be wrong.

Oh..... I know where the March rumor came from - Cherry had a financial obligation that was essentially "due" in March supposedly - and if they didn't make money by then, weren't getting anymore money from the bank to keep themselves plugged in. That whole situation has come and gone and is actually irrelevant now.

Right now the only thing that really matters is whether or not the bankruptcy judge thinks Cherry's gonna make it - and that typically takes 6 months for a company the size of cherry... but it's really hard to say, there's a TON of red tape to get through. Either way - we could go under before, or after then.... Hopefully Cherry pulls through like it's done before...

Kitty Hawk declared BK and then folded 3 weeks later. Circuit City declared BK in Dec and folded last week. Then again Delphi declared in 2002, it is still running.

I can't believe the negative waves. Kit Darby said the industry will be hiring like we haven't seen in 40 years.

Guess we're doing slightly better than Circuit City and Kitty Hawk, and on our way to Delphi status

Kit Darby is truly shameless.

Kit Darby is truly shameless.

Well, yeah! I'm sure AIR,Inc. is more of a retirement plan for Mr. Darby than United is.
