Denim air almost Bankrupt

Denim Air close to bankruptcy, about to fire 170 of the 180 pilots and reducing from 18 to 1 aircraft.

Since Roy de L. , the FOM,took over the situation has gone from bad to worse. He managed to distroy this company in just over a year with an over dosis of arrogance, and his dictator style ruling of the company, pushing the crews into flying illigal missions and much more.

Very sad for the crews indeed, sad that this former good company was leaded by such an incompetent person.

Thats a great shame. I worked with a lot of the Denim crew when they operated VLM flights and they had some really good people.

the goal of this manager is to push the company to go bankruptcy.
when economy is bad, some companies prefer to close the door, not pay anything, and restart a new company with new contracts , probably pay to fly contract (P2F).

So, what's the latest with Denim? Are they still operating, or filed for bankrupcy, or what?

I hope they continue, and the boys and girls can keep their jobs.

@ Span Air

They had one on-going contract with Norwegian Army in Afghanistan and that is it.
