Denver base closing
Well its official, Commuteair's Denver base and LNK mx hub will be closed by the end of June. Company says that most of its Denver pilots will be put in IAD, but I honestly think theyre going to lose more pilots. I dont think many denver pilots will want to commute to DC for sh*tty trips in a 145... I certainly will not be commuting. *sigh*

That, or maybe hiring and retention of mechanics in the Lincoln area is a challenge?
