LEA Redundancies?

Heard a rumour that LEA has made all their Citation 2 drivers redundant. Can anyone confirm?

Wouldn't they just transfer to the growing Mustang fleet?

Thumbs down redundancies



I heard they have made a few of their Citation 2 pilots redundant as well as a whole lot of their Legacy fleet crew!!!
They had 4 legacies( one based and crewed in prestwick) and now they only have 2 and one of them is the one in prestwick so not good for their crew. Bet they are all looking for jobs in case another goes!

Instead of asking/whingeing; why not give George G. a bell and ask

Can't comment on "best" since I've never worked for them, but they're not even close to being the biggest!
Either way, neither "biggest" nor "best" makes them immune from potential financial problems.

Tag and Bookajet have got large fleets, but not all are G-Regs or are on their own AOCs.

Eurojet have a few machines I think.

How many machines in the Air Partner fleet at the moment?

LEA must be up there, when you consider the numerous Mustangs, plus a couple of King Airs; CII/Bravos, XLs, Challenger 300s, Legacys and the Falcon.

Thumbs down Fleet and Emb redundancies

Well apparently another 2 Emb 135 captains will be looking for a job!!!!!!
They trying to get rid of their Cit II's and apparently the King Airs too. Mustangs are not very busy but taking some of the work away from the King Airs!

Who knows if they will still be around in the future!!

Approachchecks,

How do you make the correlation between laying off crews when there is less flying and not being around in the future.

Everyone is doing less flying, therefore need less crews. I'm sure the catering company is buying less bread because he is making less sandwiches. If he's still buying as many loaves then he is an idiot and will go tits up.

Let's be careful that we don't confuse actively managing your overhead with going broke, in fact one insures the other does not happen.
