Metro didn't close any of those. The hospital that put those aircraft there did. Metro doesn't have bases, they don't have medcrew, they don't provide anything except pilot / mech and occasionally aircraft services. They don't make the choices to open or close bases.

Well when the provider (Metro) charges more than the program (Hospital) makes from their service it's a no brainer.

Metro will come to realize "traditional" contracts will disappear with the change in reimbursement due to the no surprises act.

I'm sure the pilots and mechanics who had to find new jobs were happy to know that Metro takes no responsibility for their failed bases.  Semantics ... mostly just BS from Metro marketing.

Base didn't close now did it? Nope. Just changes hands, and for good reason. That program is a disaster waiting to happen.
