Would be nice if they gave that $15,000 to all pilots who are willing to leave.

A question about TMC and some of the other marginal providers? Is there a "shakeout" going on in the charter / frac world? NetJets 2016 annual report showed a 19% reduction in outside charter. Another poster in the 135 world said that about 85% of their work was "fractional charter" that the origional Fractional Operator could not cover.

Are the Frac's tightening up their operations and therefore denying the 135 operators a significant portion of business?

Or is it that TMC is such a marginal provider that they are simply not competitive in the marketplace? All this growth and work going on and they are going to furlough, it seems odd.

From Berkshire Hathaway, 2017 annual report and letter: NetJets’ earnings increased 19%, primarily due to lower subcontracting expense and a
decline in losses from aircraft impairments and dispositions, partly offset by increases in depreciation and restructuring charges and
reduced aircraft sales margins.

Are the layoffs going to be out of seniority? Is the company going to respect seniority?

Would there be anybody left to fly the planes if they did that?

I’d say all the guys that swore they’d quit if we voted in a union would stay.

Company would love for one of those guys to put up vote to kick out union when pilot group gets small enough. Maybe that is their plan?

It would just be a perk. There's no way they'd let themselves get to this point and make changes this significant just to break the union.

I'm surprised they last this long without daddy Leigl. Without an unlimited $ pot to dip from to fix the multiple aircraft daily, this was bound to happen. Back in the day they had new engines already purchased ready to go if something broke. Now they are stealing parts off their own fleet. TPG came into this from a logistical approach only to find out how much of a nightmare they got themselves into....the writing is on the walls

Hawkers are parked, nobody cares. Business as usual for the TMC group.
