Not much has been said about the Lynx furloughs, maybe it's mixed in with the other Frontier/Midwest/Lynx/Republic threads, but I thought it deserved it own.
First wave of layoffs for Lynx Aviation today - The Denver Post
The first group of furloughs a few weeks ago made up mostly of volunteers went mostly unnoticed, but the good people will be missed.
The second group the last couple of days has been really sad for all. The Frontier rampers and gate agents at the east end of A concourse have shed a few tears with us, the place is a ghost town now.
On the positive side we've had pilots move on to Virgin, Air Tran, Eagle, corporate, etc. Some have interviewed with Colgan and Republic (despite RAH wanting them to sign a 2 year contract).
On the negative, to the Republic 170 crew who openly complained on freq. about having to park on the east end in your "big jet" grow up and be thankful that the people handling your aircraft actually gave a s--t about the company they worked for. Nuff said.
