I heard a few of the senior guys at CitationAir are in C750 initial and they are picking up the Textron flight department in addition to a few managed 750's independent of Textron, leaving the Textron flight department out of luck. It's a shame if that's the case. My dad knows a few of their pilots who have been there forever.

As did my dad. Hopefully they will combine departments somehow so all of the current Textron flight department employees are not looking for a new job. But time will tell.

This is very doubtful. CitationAir (formerly CitationShares) has 69 guys/gals still on the street, present company included. They'll recall everyone first then start the hiring process. Hopefully these guys will be given first look when interviewing starts back up.

I can't confirm this, but the WOTS is that one airplane did go to CitationAir last week but not the pilots. Three more pilots and 2 mechanics are now on the street. Looks like CitationAir is slowly absorbing the Textron department.

Probably true. Not good for the pilots and mechanics. It's a real shame, too.
