| | TheStreet.com: Fine Air IPO Was a Disaster Waiting to Happen |
 | | For Fine, "this IPO was critical, because they were at a critical stage in their growth," says Brian Clancy, principal of MergeGlobal, an air cargo consulting firm in Virginia. |
 | | Fine denies responsibility for the incident, claiming it did not know the plane was carrying weapons, and the FAA cleared Fine of the charges. |
 | | Fine Air lawyer Ken Hoffman says the company didn't disclose the possible FAA action because Fine believed there was "a low probability that all of the pilots under investigation, if any, would be suspended by the FAA." Besides, Hoffman notes, "there are crew members available in the Miami area readily to replace the individuals." |
