I am surprised AMF didn't buy them.

It is ironic that AMF happens to be having a job fair in Columbus, OH this weekend - just a few days after Airnet announced the layoffs.

Looks like Airnet is starting the final push to bring the airplanes back to LCK. Check out http://flightaware.com/live/fleet/USC

I just got a message from a Star Checker that they are shutting down.

Completely shutting down or is the SUS operation still going?

I was told "shutting down." I heard from someone else there's a meeting later today. We'll see. At this point, it's rumors, so... It's worth what you paid for it.

I forgot that is Airnet HQ. Man, that is cold... But hopefully some guys can get back to work quickly if they want to stay freight.

Sad day. I loved that place.

Rough deal. It's the end of FLX, too, so I get to cry in my beer with the rest of you.

I thought the same thing when I saw it.

Damn, best of luck to the pilots.
End of an era. End of an industry.

Sopranos season 1 episode 1:

"The morning of the day I got sick, I'd been thinking. It's good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that. I know. But lately, I'm gettin' the feelin' that I came in at the end. The best is over."

I read on another board that AMF is picking up a bunch of new runs starting next week. Any info on this? Related?

 

[Inverted]

When is it not related? That's how ABQ came to be. Business is business I get that, but when the only one left is the lowest bidder, it is very sad.

Yea nothing new.
Flew the same run at Airnet in a Lear and then at AMF in a Metro.

I figured it was related, but can not confirm. Sometimes a coincidence is a coincidence. The job fair at AirNet's home airport, however, can not be a coincidence.

Supposedly, AMF hired all of the guys in ABQ, and they are in a class in ABQ now. That is the word on the street, at least.

That reminds me, do you know if the Airnet Right Now music video is still up anywhere? I was looking for it and couldn't find it.

For the same pay, right

For the same pay, right

About half...but it had windshield wipers.

Another Starchecker here, 05-09 first job out of college and flight instructing. Learned a lot, made some great friends and wouldn't be where I am today without them. All the best and good luck to those of you that have been affected by this.

Where was airnet flying? How many runs did they have left and where were they?
