This one's really going to mess with your heads ...
I have it from a friend in the financial industry that a number of operators from a specific geographic location have outright told him or her that they have no intentions of making their equipment payments, insurance payments, fuel payments, or maintenance costs. All they are going to do is run and collect the money, and when someone comes to repo the equipment, or they can't steal anymore fuel, or the equipment breaks down, they are simply going to abandon it where it is, get on an airplane, and head back to their birth country.

I wonder why they’d give the financial guy the heads up on that though. That would be like me calling the OPP in Napanee to tell them that I'm going to blow through there at 150 km/hr at 2:00 am. I may very well do that.. but giving advance warning makes little sense.

Because the finance guy called asking where the payment was ... LOL

What’s wrong with stalling? Where’s your mortgage payment? Answer: I’m going to live here for as long as I can and then just leave without making the payment.

Apparently that's what they're doing with car payments and credit card debt. Racking it up and then abandoning everything, catching a flight

Maybe Air Canada should get more planes on the route. The sooner the better we need a big purge of so called carriers and brokers.

What?…and miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity?
Isn’t that what we’ve already seen in multiple recent bankruptcy filings. Milk it for all it’s worth and walk away leaving millions in unpaid debt?
