Default Air Net finished?

Rumors, mis-information, even actual facts? Does anyone know anything?

I saw a fb post from a fellow starcheck alumn who says they have ceased ops, but cannot find anything "official" to verify. Their website says they're hirring pilots...

I know AMF is picking up quite a few runs they had out of SUS. Not sure which one led to which but we start Sunday.

Glad to see AMF is continuing its blitzkrieg across the nation, snuffing out other operators and underpaying its employees. Race to the bottom is alive and well.

Actually, AMF hired most all of the guys in Albuquerque and brought they on board. They are getting better pay, better benefits, better aircraft, and more chance for advancement. Sounds terrible!

Better pay is doubtful, so is better aircraft. Keep in mind, those are all people who could have easily left that job for AMF anytime they wanted, so the fact that they didn't had to mean something.

.

I really doubt AMF is responsible for "snuffing out" Airnet. From what I see, they held onto the idea of old Lears for cargo ops too long once the check work went away.

Yeah. It meant they liked living where they were at and couldn't go to AMF without moving.

Some of us choose not to jump anywhere to chase the highest pay check.

And knowing our aircraft and having ridden with another metro operator recently, I'm happy to compare our planes to anyone else's.
