Heard something like 30 broken airplanes, and others being cannibalized for parts. Pilots dropping like flies. Nobody is showing up for classes...Sounds like the stereotypical failing airline
Those are solid numbers. Here's another: 2 leaving for every 1 hired.

Why did xojet buy them then?
According to the AIN article.

"TPG indicated that it plans to provide more capital for further investment in TMC, which could further expand its aircraft fleet."
Emphasis is mine. I'm not holding my breath.

I'm shocked that there wasn't some sort of incentive or big news from mgmt around Christmas to try to stop the bleeding. I'd say this ship has sailed.

You might say the ship has hit the iceberg.

What? It is a Beechjet not a Gulfstream. I would be shocked if another pilot would ever sign that contract in today's job market.

Remember the windows don't open all the way on the top floor at the Green Mile. You'll need a strong rope and a chair.

Default Bad management

I worked for TMC in 2016. I joined the company wanting to retire from it. The fact is that this company is a one year company. The CEO has been quoted saying that it's an Academy for pilots to get experience and leave, he's also said that he is glad people quit so he doesn't have to pay for recurrent training. I don't believe that he honestly believes that, I think he is just a sore loser and uses that as his defense. Either way he should not be in a management position. TPG needs to drain the swamp. They spend $100 to save a dollar, they owe me for 2 days pay that I wasn't paid. I would say that the only good thing about this company are the pilots that work there, they are all great, relaxed, and knowledgeable pilots. If I were a pilot young or old looking to work for TMC I would reconsider your decision and find something else. As far as I understand XO Jet won't hire you if you've worked for TMC, so I would have rather gone to XO knowing what I know now.
