In an interview with CBS News, Bob Allen, managing partner of Nomadic Aviation Group, said the company has retained former Spirit pilots to fly the aircraft to storage facilities. Nomadic operates ferry flights for the aircraft leasing industry. “The airline shuts down, they leave airplanes stranded all over the country, and then my company comes in and we get pilots and we get them to the airports where these airplanes are,” Allen said.
