Yarpy,
I know this is a predominately pilot-orientated website, but please grab a dose of reality.
Pilots are not the issue here...its PASSENGERS. You need passengers FIRST, to pay for the pilots, aircraft and everything else.
NOW have done nothing to get passengers. Their website hasn't been updated since July, and the fact that they feel it more important to spend money on pilot training when they can't even get the website up to date, does not augur well for a team with focus on what it will take to make it successful.
I am delighted to see pilots get work, I am delighted with anything that improves the lot of the aviation community. But I also despair of organisations that talk big and deliver short. All those people who are now under training with NOW could have a very short lived career unless someone gets the lead out and starts to find passengers who will book seats and pay the bills.
As I've said above, I've seen all this before, hence my scepticism.
And they better be prepared for the agressive response from Sleezy to anyone on their patch.
