Training, training, training. The company wasn't allowed enough time to blend the operations before retraining 40% of the workforce. I'm not taking sides, but no company in any industry could handle it. The integration of pilots was either done too quickly or the Bloch fence debacle completely caught the company off guard (my pick). If the certs were merged and planes moved than there would be no need for initial retraining, 10 sims, or mass exodus between tickets. Look at the losses and look at the training costs, classes have stopped and they haven't even hired enough pilots yet. The company doesn't stand a chance. Granted moving downtown when they did was probably a mistake as well... did somebody say steak? Bankruptcy is real and its the easy way out, even a way for Daddy-D to shed 50's...
