Bad management unfortunately. Was fun flying while it lasted. Basically they been flying for free without collecting payment from clients.
Half the pilots were laid off and 3 planes returned to RP. They been late on payroll and per diem.
They tried recalling the pilots like 2 weeks after furlough so they could go to California to fly without expenses or relocation paid for. I think everyone told them to pound sand.
It had great potential, don't know what their future looks like, if any. Great pilots who are great to work with, but scandals , bad financials and lack of planning and management have severely crippled it.

I've seen two of their planes at KLUK in Cincinnati. Ultimate Air Shuttle are changing their fleet from Dornier 328JET to the EMB-135s. The two I've see have had "RP" tail numbers but I know they are going to Ultimate. I've talked to several pilots there and they have said that those are now their planes.
