Kyle Hardman has left Brantly as president

I just wanted to let the Brantly community know that as of September 22nd, I am no longer with Brantly International. The board of directors in China decided that "Branty did not need a president". I know of no plans to replace me in the position of president. As I was hired last December, as written in my offer letter "to build a new U.S. facility in accordance with the strategic plans", I can only guess as to the companies current intentions or the future of Brantly.

I felt the need to make this posting because the company has not made any announcement or even removed my contact information from the company homepage. Inquiries should be made to the company CEO Tim Archer. His office number is 972-829-4638, cell is 214-404-3981, and email is tarcher@superiorairparts.com.

As my primary value to this group was my access to the Brantly engineering drawings and supply chain data, I will likely not be contributing to this forum in the future. Good luck to you all.

Best regards,
Kyle Hardman

That is most disappointing. Mr. Hardman was articulate and willing to communicate with others. I for one will miss his participation. Now we all really are ophans.

Yes, this is certainly bad news. The future of Brantly... doubtful now.

Well I drift in and out as I look at my Brantly in the corner and try to get motivated to get it going. This outcome is very, very disappointing but not really that surprising-almost the same mo as what they did to the few loyal employees that were left at the end at the former factory.
