They haven't paid the bulk of their employees for the month of May either. Pilots got paid though.
Can't afford to fix any of their aircraft. The one scheduled flight won't return until mid/late June and even that is a big maybe.
This has nothing to do with the pilot shortage. This has everything to do with terrible management decisions.
What a joke. . . the media and public should be told the truth! NOT A PILOT SHORTAGE PROBLEM! For any pilots that were in training in HOU, count yourself lucky you didnt get on with this dumpster fire of an "airline". They got in way above their heads, and so many people told them to slow down growth and catch up on pilots, FA's, get the planes in a good condition to fly, then grow with a slow deliberate goal. They did not do this, and ended up screwing themselves.
So sad actually.
