Nothing is going to happen to this operation in the near future. The moron that posted this, is just that, a moron.

4 things just off the top of my head that go against the moron:

1. K4 has contracts with performance penalties attached. In simplistic terms, just like the lease on an apartment you just do not walk away from that.

2. Connie, besides what everyone says, does not own everything. He does yet own a number for the 400's. Yes, his name is on them as the owner but they are financed through another source. Newsflash, nobody wants old BCF's anymore no matter how well they have been maintained. The zero fuel weight is lower and the fuel burn higher. Selling them quickly is out of the question.

3. If we do park airplanes after the first of the year, it will be due to crew shortages, not lack of business, or Connie cutting off his nose to spite his face.

4. No airline, no race teams.

Poster above who is in the next class. If you do not have another job that pays this well then come here and after you get online put out your resumes if we still do not have a contract. Do not worry about a furlough. Very strong rumor, much much more reliable than the moron above is that we are losing 30 more pilots to our nearest competitor in the first quarter of 2016.

Sadly, in my inexpert opinion, We have been offered, and probably can get, a CMI contract with an Asian carrier. If we got that contract, Connie would make enough risk free money to settle an industry leading contract AND fund an additional race team. Unfortunately, no contract, no applications. They just don't seem to get it up there in YIP.
