As a victim of the downsizing and shutdown of U3K, thanks for all of the kind words. I spent 2+ years there and loved it. Great crews, fun flying, lots of time off, and way too much food.
I was fortunate enough to land on my feet at Virgin. Most of the U3K guys I still keep in touch with have gone to or are looking at going to Asia. There are a bunch of us here at Virgin, and I know many have gone to Spirit as well.
I had a bad feeling about Harfst when he showed up on property and immediately starting taking vacations (he is quite the skier I hear...). Most of us got the feeling pretty quickly that he was hired to shut the company down.

We saw a USA3000 A320 in FLL the other day, it was using the Vision callsign. We both thought that was interesting. Best of luck to all those effected, I've also done the "abroad" thing, not such a bad gig once you get used to it, hard to give up the money on the way back.

Sorry to see this.
If any USA 3000s guys are interested, Emirates is desperate for qualifed pilots right now. Hiring 500-600 this year alone.
Air Arabia, Etihad, and Qatar are also all hiring.
Best of luck,

Damn shame. I know the guy who built the airline from a blank sheet of paper. He too was made a lot of promises...then "junior" needed a job. He pretty much called this several years back.
Best of luck guys.
