    Not seeing Jerry, Andy Jackson, and MOST of the sales people. Scott R seems to be the only surviving sales person. Super pumped we still have Mandy!
    I confirmed that Scott and Jake are the two people left in sales. Glad to see Dexter, maybe that means the TPF facility will remain open. I have emailed Jerry Meyer too see when we can expect some communication from newco Icon.

    Andy and Chris gone are a big hit in the training and testing, Sean is now solo. Sales force got slashed too, but not all of them so I hope that means production will continue. I’ll miss working with Gary Knight for sure!

    Noah also seems to have survived from Sales.

    This is fascinating list. Only one engineer survived (there were only 3 as of this year), which is a total shame.

    Mostly customer service (2), HR (2), Finance (1), Quality, Production, Manufacturing Engineering

    Most of the structural engineering was contract (since all quit in the past 3 years) and in looking at BK proceeding those were under contract were lost many tens of thousands $$ in unpaid invoices.

    I just heard they laid off most of the Icon staff on Thursday. Anyone hear the same, or deeper knowledge of the status?

    Unless they further laid off more employees the list that made it through the "transition" is up several posts. Only 30 remain, many others were laid off to include sales and engineering. Most that remain are in production, service, and quality.

    There is only 1 engineer left and he is only an electrical engineer. They laid off a very experience and competent mechanical engineer who was doing a number of things but primarily Material Review Board (he fixed the many problems with parts and component on the production line) The other was a junior aerospace engineer. There were only three engineers left. The rest were contractors and all had sizable unpaid invoice claims. So I doubt they come do more work for them again.

    With who is left I have my doubts they can competently maintain a continued operational safety program that is required of ASTM and FAA.

    None of this is surprising to me given the the majority shareholders laundered the company from 62% Chinese hands into 100% Chinese hands via the bankruptcy process. Wiped out debt to small American aerospace business suppliers and laid off Americans along the way. Totally inappropriate use of the BK process in my opinion. Don't be surprised if they move the company to China. This was their goal all along. A god damn shame if you ask me and Par for the course on Chinese Investment in American Aerospace.
