What Panama Jack says seems to be the case, anyone who passes through BAH will notice their aircraft parked off remote, without service personnel or equipment in the vicinity, very obviously going nowhere.

Seems they either took on more aircraft than they needed or they don't have the crews to operate or possibly the resources to train them. Either way, with parked aircraft, not only are they not generating revenue; they're costing you money.

That said, with some of the poor loads I've witnessed on recent flights with them, it might be cheaper to leave em parked up.

...And, Airlines rarely go under in 6months so rumours of that happening are most likely just that; rumours. When airlines go, they usually go tomorrow and without warning. If the rumour becomes widespread enough about an impending failure then it will be expedited by the fact that no will risk travelling with them, a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts.

It will be a shame if they do go under and not only because of the folks who will be out of work but because BAH deserves something better than GF.

The question remains, do they deserve to succeed? Knowing nothing about their management and interior workings I can only wish them the best but if they have that penchant for nepotism, cronyism, wasta and all that other venture killing stuff that pervades out here then alas it may be too late.

Hustle On
