Reasons?

Presumably the’ve lost orders.
Are they being undercut by competitors? Is it the cost of fuel?

In a way inevitable. They have been attempting to recruit for 2+ years
now with limited success.

I said to JS I would consider a position if an ATA104 Level III E,I,R B747 Course + applicable bond was provided. As a hard working FAA AMT,
I do have high standards, in training and practice.

When these are embodied with good morale, firms survive.

'Not necessary' was the reply. Apparently, the aircraft are still not too
clever today. And importantly, the demand for 'serviceable' freighter
capacity remains.

Nice to be back

BAe146?

I was up there about a month ago, the place was dead. The hanger doors were open, but there no aircraft coming or going. I asked one of the engineers I was on a course with what the gen was with Polar. He had heard that problems were afoot. I guess he was right.
