Iceman Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Worked contract for Universal a couple seasons ago. Quite enjoyed it, one of the best gigs in 24 years. The rapid over expansion was worrisome though. Sad news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXP88 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 So with Universal bankrupt and shutting down, does that mean Lakelse Air is history as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEOB Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I spent 10 years with the old UHNL before it was sold, some of the best days of my career! Sad to hear the news today. End of an era! PW (lady K 😉) and later GG knew how to run an aviation business and what worked. The new management ran it into the ground with horrible decisions, wasting money in useless places and chasing international pipe dreams that did nothing but cost money they didn’t have while the little bit of local work that was still left got the cold shoulder. I feel bad for the guys and gals that were left behind. Lots of good people in there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinstar_ca Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Sorry, DGP... I tried to merge this with your OP as this was a duplicate story. Didn't work very well and I don't seem to be able to reverse it. Would all posters please check to make sure your topic isn't already active. Thanks....
