I was working ramp and got laid off the same day the Pan Am guys got the Axe. I was there the last day, it was pretty sad. A lot those guys were too old to get another airline job and were forced into early retirement. Some of the people I wporked with were great and the Pan Am crews were great. Some of them had been flying 72's for 20+ years. It was also very bitter. They had to lock the airplanes because manuals went missing, mechanics were being laid off. Also the owner Fink, he is a real nut. I got injured (minor) on the job and the guy that had to report it to the owner was terrified. Fink would actually scream at him. I am soooo glad I stayed away from there. Maint was sketchy, and company was too unpredictbale. Good Luck.
