As a former Capt. for the ALPA side of Pan Am who was fired Oct 31, 2004, I could not be happier to see them finally close the doors. BMA from day 1 was an alter-ego airline formed to bust ALPA. Period. They found a bunch of qualified B727 pilots, some former scabs from other battles, trained them and did proving runs with the Feds. Once all boxes were checked, we were on our way out the door. I was amazed there were scumbags willing to help BMA pull this off and accept $5000/mo salary as a B727 Capt. Funny how months later they were complaining about how bad things were there...DUH!!Now that the lights are turned off, time will tell where these guys will turn up.

Reading the DOT docket (7668), they are begging to keep the J31's flying and parting ways with large aircraft (for the time being). I hope the Feds wake up and finally close this place, pull the certificate and put this Mgmt team on the Lorenzo list of never again in aviation. One can only wish.
