Thank you for your review. We know the decision to move away from operations in Duluth was not an easy one. We helped make sure all employees had an opportunity to work in another location of our organization. We are very excited about the growth of our business and continue to make sure our employees have the support they need to be successful. We look forward to another great year for AAR!
