Most of us have found other places. Other airlines have been really helpful in offering us interviews, and our Chief Pilot, Stig, has been sending us quite a few emails with job leads. I think it helps that we all have time hand-flying all types of approaches in bad weather with no autopilot.

Foley and Fred deLeeuw have both had their hands in their fair share of failed airlines. I can't say that this was a complete surpise.
Not with the group of Pilots (that is a loose term) here on APC...apparently it is far too dangerous and irresponsible to do so in a Jet... But I'll take a Pilot from Big Sky over an RJ-driver as my wingman any day
