When did it cease operations? Article says it declared bankruptcy in 1998, but it could have continued operating under bankruptcy protection (as Delta and United currently are, as of March 2007). End of services dates should be added to the introductory section. --Itsgeneb 21:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

West Pac had operated for since Aug of 97 under chapter 11. It ceasdsed flying in Feb 98. I could of made it it it stayed in COS snd if the major carriers didn;t each take a preditory market to run WP out of business. Example: United flew 757 5 times a day to SFO at fares lower that WP. WP had 3 flights and were profitably full. United, American, Delta each took markets and did the same.

Cos is now a prime grave yard with about 10 flights a day.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.38.1.209 (talk • contribs)

Actually, I was there at the time, the founder cut bait and the jackass that took over moved everything to Denver, which killed it. It went from being the big fish in a rather small niche market to a minnow among sharks, due to greed and poor thinking from the top brass. Chris (talk) 06:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
