Latest Leading Indicator for Pilot Career -
AIR inc, (aka Kit Darby) just announced that they're out of business tomorrow.....to quote them:
"....the current status of the airline industry and the economy has made our business unsustainable, and we are closing."
Conclusion, no hiring, and pilot "want-ta-be's" pool is evaporating. The only thing left in the pool are a few flopping, dying fish gasping for air.
Noteworthy that you could assume that Darby couldn't even sell the business to someone - like a cynical, furloughed pilot.

Good thing ALPA gave me the free AIR Inc. membership last month
Just one of the many benefits ALPA offers. In it's place, ALPA will be providing FREE membership to the Columbia House 8-Track music club. Pay S&H and your first 20 8-Tracks are FREE!
