QUOTE "What ever happened to the goal of ten 145 airframes by 'the end of the year'?"
Well I guess you need pilots to fly the proposed 10 145's. As Thrillho mentioned around 70% of their pilots have left.
Also, it takes time to convince youngsters to part with 50K of their cash in order to secure a job paying 75K per year flying a commuter jet with a company that people don't want to stay with medium/long term. Makes sense.
