Another one bites the dust (soon..)

Independence Air stenger doerene i loepet av noen uker. Foelgende brev er sendt til selskapets flyvende personell. Regner med at andre grupper har faatt tilsvarende.
Men de tar fortsatt imot bestilinger etter disse datoene ...

RE: Furlough

Dear Flight Attendant ######:

As you know, FLYi, Inc, the holding company for Independence Air, has been actively engaged in securing investors in, or purchasers of, the Company as it attempts to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy Code.

The Company expects that is it is unable to secure significant external investment or a sale of all or substantially all of its operations before January 7, 2006, it will permanently cease all operations and separate all employees at all locations sometime during the period January 7-21, 2006.

In accordance with Section 16.A.4 of the collective bargaining agreement between the Company and AFA covering flight attendants, this letter shall constitute notice that you will be furloughed effective January 7, 2006. The Company retains the right to amend or rescind this notice of furlough.

Sincerely,
Jeff Rodgers
Vice President, Employee Services
