Northeastern had 2 years to find a buyer so it was not abrupt like TA . National was doing very well so they were gobbled up . 2 very different scenarios from TAMy point was DPP spokesman came out and said they audited TA ' s books the week before but found nothing wrong . DPP industry watchdogs fell asleep like they usually do and tried to sweep it under the rug like it was not their problem . Megabank is a big lender so how could government not know something was wrong ? So this all goes back to the youtube video I posted . TA could not see a tomorrow because of deteriorating economy due to stubbornincompetent DPP policies and decided to just end it . edit hopefully they will start a chapter 11 and restructure and come back in the future with a new name . They should have rebadged their entire fleet as VAir right after the 2 nd accident .
