Just speculation on my part, but they have the contract to bus kids from the old charter school to Middleton. That plus the work they are retaining (day trips, multi-night trips) will probably keep them busy. Having talked to one of their drivers on an airport ride, its difficult to find people who want to drive a bus to Orlando 3-4 times a shift. So, not sure if staffing was an issue but its Groome's issue now.

We'll give Groome a try, but being packed in a van after being packed in a plane doesn't sound like its something I'd enjoy. Those Workman busses will be missed.
