I've been with this Corp for 15 Years and endured one layoff in 2001 for about one year, but this time it's different, Nothing left working at Mooney but a skeleton crew, most of them Management who suck the last $ from Investors since they have NO Clue on how to fabricate Parts, besides mostly all Machine & Fab Tools are being sold, Heat Treat Facilities disassembled etc. Mooney is only a Memory, thanks to greedy Investors and some Managers who think they know on how to run a Business, yes they can run it, all the way into the Ground. 400 great Craftsman and I can tell the real Story.....................................
This is one closure that I really hate to see. As reported in other places in this thread, Mooney has closed before and bounced back but with the economic pressure like it is, I suspect they will not come back this time.
Too bad, too as they were my favorite aircraft. I was hoping to be able to buy another one having owned N74531 many years ago.
Ihope the best for Mooney but fear the worst.
