spot on

All of the above is pretty much spot on. Yes the reins have been handed over, daughter's b/f is the GM & he has no aviation knowledge or background whatsoever. The bandit at PLC has had that many bits n pieces scavenged off it to keep the other 2 in the air that it will never fly again. Three of their chieftains are still flying, but the fourth is in similar shape to the bandit. The seneca still flies (god only knows how) and the seminole went a gutser at YPAD last year (some nerd forgot to put the wheels down) & I think it's still out of action. The aerocommander is out of the air (again) with a cracked spar. It just staggers from one disaster to the other. I feel sorry for the employees.
