Also as jrmyl mentioned, the contract is gone and if they ever recall (and this is a big if) it will be a very different contract and company than the one we worked for. A few of us have gotten lucky and got jobs in the US but many of our friends are still looking.
Good luck to everyone on these difficult times...
US job market in cargo sector still going strong, FedEx UPS, and other ACMI carriers are hiring. For those of you have time in heavy should have no problem getting a job. Good luck for everyone here.
