Currently furloughed from the Country Club right now, and from what Limited info I get, they just got ETOPS certification but before they can do any big military contracts over the pond, they have to get a year of ETOPS flying under their belt. I think they are just trying to break even on this stuff, or not loose too much money while trying to get this box checked, (My guess).
They made money last year and are supposed to exit Chap 11 in the next few months so we will see. Again I don't get too much info so take it for what it's worth.

Better yet - stranded at Gander.
