Well OK Ringbinder, dear girl, I can see you are agonising over this. So to put it to bed... Never at SQ, but assigned CASA FOI for them. Air Nauru did not technically go bust, but had their sole aeroplane repossessed by the bank and were grounded for 10 months. APNG - call it prescient. SAW & OzJet - definitely there on both occasions at the vinegar stroke.
Happy? Now, go enjoy your Harley. Not half the bike a Guzzi is, of course.
Back on topic, due to an inability to retain jet instructors, China Southern contracted the Citation flying out to REVESCO. There never was a career path to that anyway, as the CAAC require more jet minimum experience than the College was prepared to provide. They did it for one former CP but apparently it didn't work out too well.
Also, apparently most of their MECIR instructors now have gigs with the airlines. Great news.
