2,500 Employees Laid Off in “Successful” Bankruptcy Reorganization

When talking about big corporate bankruptcy reorganizations, things like “running leaner operations” and “payment in full” (with interest!) to creditors are generally really good things. (Extraordinary things, actually, in Bankruptcy Court.)

But, for the 2,500 employees who are part of the “trimmed” operations of Utah’s Flying J gas stations, the remarkable success of the Bankruptcy is of little comfort. Tennessee based Pilot Travel Centers bought out the assets of Flying J…let’s hope they’re on the market for some people to run the stores.
