Flight school I worked for went bankrupt. Restarted a year or so later but I left before it finally shut down.
Then went to a sleaze bag 135 operator with marginal planes and pilot pushers and an accident record and body count to show for the effort. They have always been profitable and are still in operation.
Corporation I flew for sold their plane.
The regional I flew for was not bad ... other than low pay ... but they shut down years ago.
Major airline 1 shut down.
Major airline 2 shut down.
Major airline 3 went Bk then terminated pensions but they are still operating.and lasted for my 29 years.
This is a tough bidness.
