Anybody confirm this?


It’s reported that ForeFlight has laid off 30% of their workforce.


Somebody posted this to Reddit:

“With no warning we were all fired yesterday morning via email.

I would expect worsening service over the coming weeks and months, as many engineering teams who supported various features were simply removed with no opportunity for knowledge transfer.


This happened due to ForeFlight’s sale to private equity (Thoma Bravo) last year, who plans to move all engineering offshore.


ForeFlight was an incredible company to work for with amazing benefits and so much emphasis on pilot safety and support as well as product quality.


This is a huge shame and disappointment and many incredible engineers lost their jobs.”

My understanding is that most of the layoffs were from the Jeppesen support group. You my recall that Boeing sold FF and Jepp to a private equity group.
