Z,
Yep, saw that. Their demise has been predicted for a long time.
Appears there are only ~15 pilots left but it's heartening to see the regionals reach out encouraging them to apply. Perhaps a win-win deal for both parties ?
The lowliness of GL as a company isn't the fault of the pilot group who apparently did some demanding flying.
There's no joy in seeing fellow aviators in dire straits.
