We just let another 25 people go. I started last September 2019 and we were up to 130 something employees in January 2020. We are now down below 75. They let another in my position go on Monday, now there are two of us, the latin American accounts guy, the MRO accounts guy, and the C&E chick. We had about 12 total account managers at the beginning of the year. We have also closed our KUL office and canned some staff in our European offices. I am really lucky things clicked and the timing of how everything happened- I am lucky to still have this job but I am putting up the numbers now.
Busy and long days, but I had a great month last month...... the company overall is not safe though.
Interestingly enough, we have been tearing down 737NG's like crazy (three last month), we are taking on a 321 this week, and we are in the final stages of trying to win two very large fleet retirement teardown contracts...
I don't know the nuts and bolts of how we win these fleet ones, but I believe we don't pay anything to the airlines up front, but rather a percentage from each part sold, therefore the only up front costs are the teardown and shipping costs.
