Keith Estes turned in his employment paperwork on the 15th of August and had a projected start date of the 22nd of August. Plane Techs staffing company called Estes on the 18th of August to inform him that there were issues with the paperwork and the position was no longer available to Estes, according to Stacey Burke Vice Presidents of Corporate Communications for True Blue, the parent company for Plane Techs staffing company.
