There's speculation that Berry will get the contract back, and if that happens the flying will be permanently shifted from Metros to Dash-8s.
Had also noticed that Berry was recruiting on JSF for pilots at NZY as recent as 2/1. Even though I was offered a position with Rampart a week prior. Declined as it's pretty unsettling as to what's going on down there right now and not sure if Otters are the best alternative. Berry was in there a lot of years. Still remember the days when it was Ted's Convairs..
