And that’s the premium check; so all the extra pilots were working in Jan, trying to keep the place going. Is there any word if they have funds set aside for pay?

 

Hoping the right thing is done and at least cut checks for work performed.

 

Well thats a bit foolish. Get a room, get some sleep and start polishing your resume like you should have two years ago.

 

My airline owed me 3 weeks back pay and 2 weeks vacation. I got a ck 8 years later for $108 (thats one hundred eight dollars) from the bankruptcy payout.
You are just another creditor now behind all the banks that loaned the money and are required to be paid first. In the eyes of the court, your tiny losses are miniscule.

 

You have to know by history, this is standard practice right? SchedulIng is long gone because they are not being paid either. Get out your credit card and pay for a room and get some sleep then go home or get on a flight and go home now. You are an adult you are not stranded.

 

This really sucks and hope all NK employees find new jobs. I was really hoping you all would pull through on this one, I know some great pilots from NK.

It still sucks, and it still counts as being stranded by the Co. even if he can pull out the cc and book his own room. I think he's earned the right to complain about being left high and dry after midnight even if you know that's what happens in these situations.

 

How is the view from up there? You seem to think very grandiose of yourself. Typical of a narcissist, not able to show empathy.

 

Bros still on brand.

 

100% here, this unfortunately was going to happen, the war just made it happen a little sooner, what was it 3 or 4 months ago they were a day or two from shutting down and only a last second deal kept the airline alive. Sucks for those left but lots of people saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship over last 2 years.

 

Creditors can pull their marker whenever they want. Fuel could have been a nickle a gal, wouldn't have mattered, when they decide they want their money, you have to pay one way or the other.

This is a management failure. Pure and simple.

Which spring boards me into the next statement - your company does not care about you. Every airline pilot should understand this. Unfortunately this lesson keeps getting re-learned the hard way.

I'm truly feeling bad about you all at NK. No doubt, you guys are a quality group of pilots and your coworkers have been getting hoovered up at the big 3 + SWA. Get your apps out (should have been out already) dust off the suit, get your interview swagger back and get out there and present yourself. This is a life changing event, rise to it and get yourself moving again. We're all pulling for you guys.
