helifool Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 http://www.silverstatehelicopters.com/ Silver State Helicopters Files Chapter 7 (Las Vegas, Nev.) – Silver State Helicopters, a privately-owned company based in Las Vegas, Nevada, filed a petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for relief under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code. The company closed all operations yesterday, February 3, 2008, at 5:33 p.m. PST. This action followed a rapid, unprecedented downturn in the U.S. credit markets, which severely curtailed the availability of student loans for the company’s flight academy students and resulted in a sharp and sudden downturn in new student enrollment. “The decision to shut down operations was made only after the company explored its other available alternatives,” said Elizabeth Trosper, company spokesperson. “Information for former employees and students will be disseminated as it becomes available.” Quote

This guy is the biggest crook in the aviation industry. I hope to God all of the students enrolled in this program are able to retrieve their funds. Good luck to all involved. Quote
BOATFIXERGUY Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 The web site is now down... Every news feed I've watched on SSH has said that they were going to publish a letter to students and staff on what they were going to do for them today (not the email they already sent out).... Well, what gives? Quote
