It was suppose to be Jan. 2013.

Want to know how mean Steve Harfst (current CEO) is? For over the last year he published the fleet phase out timeline in the monthly newsletter he sent out. Every month it was the last thing each employee saw. Now they don't even honor that

At one point in 2008 they had 14 A320s (12 + 2 from Thomas Cook).

A lot of questionable calls within the operation as well. U3K has F:WZ for flight planning and for those who don't know, its the latest and greatest flight planning tool that costs outrageous amounts of money. Nice idea but not for five airplanes. They also had an ETOPS program for 168 seat A320's in the works. Spent all the money to be ready for TableTOPS and then it was subsequently cancelled.

Great little airline with an amazing group of people. I have a lot of friends there. Thankfully most of them saw the writing on the wall and already started jumping ship. Heck there was one A320 capt that left to become an Eagle FO about 9 months ago.
