No Captains, no trainers, no SIM instructors. Apparently the Company refused to pay what the check and trainers asked so now 6 planes will be scrapped if a buyer can't be found.
So many people had their first turboprop command on once what was a great fleet. Due to management incompetence, the type is now dead.
Rumour has it that SQ is so obsessed with cost-cutting and keeping the Metros busy, he is ignoring the F100 and Dash fleets putting jobs at risk.
Best of luck to the displaced crew and their families.
