Sorry to hear that. I share your pain and wish the guys all the best to find new work.
I met quite a few of their crews in different parts of the world and we had cold beers and good talks. I always thought they'd a very realistic 'both feet on the ground' attitude and new what eventually would come their way.
Just before Christmas is a slap in their faces.
Hard work and dedication is not appreciated anylonger in a world run by beancounters.
If even Kalitta parks their planes this really indicates the begining of the end for the classics. I think we'll see more to come in the near future.
