Via's management were cheap scumbags. Nobody wants to work for cheap scumbags.

Not always. It was very good there not that long ago. It looks to have nose dived with the DO change.

This is what we as a pilot group predicted when I worked there 2-3 years ago. Have to take care of your employees or they won’t stick around.

Hearing that Via has shut down. I have a friend who was in sims training in Houston with them and they were all just sent home today and told the company is done.

Any proof of that?

It's the internet, therefore it has to be true.

No, which is why I phrased it the way I did.

That said, I don't know why else an entire class would be sent home and told there would be no more training. Especially when a pilot shortage has been given as the reason why their planes aren't flying.

Hoping to be wrong for my friend's sake, but given the recent situation, I don't think I am.

Still operating, for now. Cut back the operation to one route and supplemental stuff.
Very sad, was hoping to see them make it. As rough as it’s been there lately, in general they did treat their pilots better than typical regionals.
Doesn’t sound promising
