According to Thursday's paper it sounds like they are growing (130 current employees) and doing well. The college is gearing up to provide them trained employees.

Why do you have to be so negative? At least someone in town is open for business!!!!

[rizzzzzz]

2 of my nieces are out there. They seem to like it. Of course every job in Blytheville sucks, cause you gotta work around all the negativity our populouse throws at you.

I hope that things just start picking up again so everyone can be "happy".

If you really want to know what's going on ask yourself how successful is this company when the former COO (Rick Uber) is now the General Manager (2 steps down depending how you look at it) and the prior VP/GM (Mike Castle) has been put down to the floor (not sure what his exact title is but it's not VP/GM). Also heard CEO left but I've been unable to confirm it. That leaves Ben Quevita, Chairman, 1 of 4 Senior Management still in their position --- he's very talented but I'm not sure even he can even make this work.

[Iknows]

Hope things change for them because if they don't, ART ain't gonna be around much longer!

[haha]

They will not be in business much longer. That is the sad, but true fact.

it is part of the FAA regulations. Part of the security background checks.

[Humor lives]

ART is cool. I prefer modern to abstract, though.

[u kiddin me]

everyone does background checks but that doesn't mean a ex con can't get hired not all ex cons are bad most just get caught up in stupid crap doesn't mean that they can't fix a plane up

What's really sad but true is that your dumba** is still running your mouth about things you know absolutely NOTHING about. Grow up and get a life already!

Again, you know nothing about what goes on. Ben Quevedo was and still is the CEO/Chairman. Rick is still in Senior management. So what if the prior VP/GM is not in that position anymore. Maybe he didn't want to stay there, maybe ART didn't want him in that position, but it is none of your business. The company is doing great, growing al the time! Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

[Guest]

As for ex-cons working there, again, that is no one's business except the Management of ART. Who are you to say what is and is not acceptable? I can guarantee you are not qualified to make any determination on who does and does not get hired at ART.

Mind your business people. Geez

[UR so lame]

Ben Quevedo has NOT always been the CEO -- yes he was the original Chairman but he was NOT the original CEO--- As far as Rick & Mike -- going from COO (Rick) to GM and VP/GM (Mike) spell it with me..... D-E-M-O-T-E-D. But you're absolutely right every VP/GM would accept a much lower job -- WAKE UP!!!! THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU'RE UNABLE TO DO YOUR JOB. How brainless can you be???

Hey thanks for the info -- I'm sure I'll be able to confirm all of this with the local FSDO... for all the idiots who didn't know about the restrictions, that's your local FAA office!!!! Have a nice day.
