Clients Directed To FltOps.com
As if we needed more signs of the
sorry state of the economy, and the dearth of new commercial pilot
jobs out there today. On Friday, airline job placement service AIR,
Inc. will cease operations after 20 years of matching job-seeking
pilots with airline employers.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you during the
past 20 years. However, the current status of the airline industry
and the economy has made our business unsustainable, and we are
closing," AIR, Inc. President and Publisher Kit Darby wrote in a
statement posted on his web site Thursday.
Darby added AIR, Inc. made arrangements with FltOps.com to
provide existing members and subscribers with job placement
services throughout the duration of their current memberships, at
no additional charge. Like AIR, Inc, did, FltOps.com offers a
Web-based pilot career information service, as well as a nationwide
job fair program.
When members' AIR, Inc. subscriptions expire, membership in
FltOps.com will continue at $4.95 a month, unless the subscriber
cancels. "If you have a union sponsored membership other than ALPA
the process will be the same at the end of your current term,"
Darby stated. For ALPA members, they won't be charged as long as
their union dues are current, though they must renew to continue
with FltOps services.
The current Web site will remain available to members or
newsletter and magazine subscribers for the length of your AIR,
Inc. membership or subscription. The final newsletter was posted on
2/11/2009, and the site will not be updated after that.
