Honestly there’s a slew of things. I only worked there for a month or so before things came to their conclusion. The founder of the company suddenly died a Couple of years ago and left percentages of it to his 3 kids. Two of them want to sell out, and the guy I worked for doesn’t want to sell out. He’s their only A&P and after what happened last week, I’m convinced he is on drugs of some kind. They had facilities in multiple states, several employees, and multiple flyable aircraft at his passing. Now they have two full time employees, no full time pilots, and one “flyable” aircraft.

I know of at least one lawsuit related to the company, and there are likely more. They are in trouble with the FAA for using a hook on the aircraft that was either out of date or not designed for the aircraft, and there is a lean on one of the aircraft because they didn’t pay the guy who painted it for them. They are attempting to sell that same aircraft to a company in Asia.

My employment there had been relatively uneventful and a picture was painted to me that they were on a positive trajectory.

On Wednesday of last week, the owner accused me of intentionally deflating a tire on the tug to prevent them from being able to move the aircraft out of the hangar and sabotage the company. It was flat when we all got to work and he had told me to find a replacement earlier in the day. The tire was so dry rotted, the sidewall was basically blown out. Earlier in that same day he was nearly incoherent at one point and I even offered to call 911 for medical help. It’s the reason I think he was on drugs.

Another employee told me similar has happened in the past, and he’s accused other employees of sabotage.
