More On Wings Air

G-Force,

I would hope you've taken your story to the ATL FSDO with half the effort you've expended here.


One other thing, Wings Air is a regional?[/quote
]


Do not have to go to the FSDO,I think somebody just might beat me to it!!


Yes,Wings Air is a reg'l,has scheduled pax ops to ATL from AHN.
 
G-force, not to rain on your parade, but have you considered that you are probably opening yourself up to a huge lawsuit by running your mouth about your former company on here? "Wildbill" seems to know who you are and insists your accusations are false. I hope you have a good lawyer... I'd sue you if it were my company.

Hey BOX OFFICE dude,a courtroom is the last place these people want me in,because I would not be ALONE!!!!

What else have they done? How about firing the CEO because his salary is TOO HIGH,this happened!!!They NEED money!!
How about CANCELLING flights and not informing the crews about it until the crews show up at the airport??? This happens a lot!!!

When you have monthly overhead of $180K + and monthly revenues of only $25K,does this sound like an outfit that is going to be successful 6 mos. from now??or 12mos. from now?? I seriously doubt it!!!!

The word I hear is that owners of SEVERAL of these aircraft leased to Wings Air will call these aircraft back off lease in the next 2 or 3 mos.Things should get very interesting in the next few months!!!
 
Those guys should be paying for their jobs in the Navajo. I know I wouldn't be worthy if I didn't pay for the right to sit there.
 
The LATEST!!

Several Captains have/planning to quit.A SPENDING FREEZE in effect,no more parts to repair/maintain their fleet of PA-31 Chieftain Panthers!!!
Am told the place will TANK for good by JULY 2009!!!!
 
Hey John, the new counter queen at colemill saw some old pics and thinks your hot. She is wondering if your single?
 
More On The Latest!!!

A caller just informed me that nobody got PAID this week at this outfit !!!!What's up with this????
 
More!!!!!

A former employee of this place recently told me that Wings Air is BROKE,but is trying to line up other investors,but if they cannot,it is TANK CITY for this place!!!!
 
Deep Pockets!!!!!

There are 3 aircraft in the hangar that need engines right now,a few months from now there will be 3 more!! At $50K/engine,my math comes out to $600K just for engine overhauls!!!
You must have DEEP POCKETS,dude????

That's funny... I got a peek in their hangar about a week ago and there was only one plane waiting on engines.

Why are you so obsessed with an ex-employer?

Get over it dude. Move on with your life. It's not worth the stress.

Fill us in, Josh.

A Jan. 09' join date with the first post on G-force... you gotta know sumthin'. Clearly, you're affiliated with them.
 
A Months Pay!!!!!

In one more week,it will be a full month since employees of Wings Air were PAID!!!!
If this continues after next,then we probably looking at quite a few defections!!!!!
 
Are they still flying the scheduled routes? I guess some people will work for free for awhile. I did notice like Josh said one Navajo with no engines but there were four others in the hanger for whatever reason.

Wings is not the end-all-be all flying job. But it was a job for many pilots that would have paid some bills and made life a little bit easier. I hate it when people rejoice in a company going under because that means many have lost their income.
 
Wings Air @ LZU,ITS OVER!!!!!

Had a very interesting phone call today,the info was that WINGS AIR IS DONE.They just laid off the entire company of employees owing everyone a MONTHS PAY,owing FBO's at LZU,ATL, AHN,MCN tons of money in UNPAID fuel bills!!!!!
It all comes back to MANAGEMENT and Wings Air simply did NOT have any!!!!

They have it, they just won't pay their debts just like a gazillion other ops I've seen shut down overnight. I've had to threaten legal action for back pay before. The stonewalling I got was incredible. I just quit, told them what I was owed and that I wasn't playing around. The place went under within a few months of my leaving, but I did get my money or most of what was owed.
 
someone just told me that georgia skies had an EAS contract and wings did not. single engine caravan v 2 lycomings.... now I get it..
 
Heard on the radio this morning that Wings air is pulling out of AHN and MCN. Continuing ops from LZU with hopes to start Rome and Columbus in the future.
