There are a lot of Navy Seals today, some even were......
What I saw from the hangar next door was a good group of hard working Mechanics and a company running DC-3s making money when the Turbine boys were hurting.
Something happened , I believe it was the death of the or one of the owners and the chaos began. Ended up with the new kids on the block coming to save a profitable company. The rest is now what we see. For more current, your going to have to stick your nose in the door, I have no clue and can only speak about what I saw in STT.
As with any cargo operator there is a chance some sureptious dealings exists. American Airlines brings in Coke from Columbia. That does not mean they know about it.... Front for the CIA, doubtful, I think your watching to many Bruce Willis movies.
You would think they would be more forward thinking.
I think thats what got them in the mess. DC-3s were paid for and making a profit. Buy some new fangled $30 Mil whatever and there goes the black ink.
