I mean SJU had been on the decline since the Caribbean islands started extending their runways past 6000ft and the ATRs aren't exactly new. Expect 4-5 feeders with another yet to be announced. I feel some people on here live in fallout shelters thinking about how the world is going to wrong them. Relax everyone.

It is supposedly to start with us stop hiring fa's.... offer leaves of absence , then the emb's will stop being painted, pilot hiring stops, emb's all go away, then all CRJ's are sent to another carrier and the remaining pilots and fa's are terminated.... ( sound familiar ???)

I know everyone will call BS on this one..... But it was very surprising to hear from this Particular employee...

Take it for what its worth....


1. yes they indeed stopped hiring FA's. In fact they are offering LOA's for the month of April.

2. Not painting all emb's.

3. No fleet plan, no plan whatsoever, not even a new name.
