Braniff International began flights on July 1, 1991, but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy a mere 37 days later. CEO Gregory Dix resigned in early September and was replaced by Chodorow. The bankrupt airline was able to secure sufficient financing to continue flying, only to shut down permanently on July 2, 1992.
In 1991, Chodorow resurrected the defunct Braniff Inc. and named it Braniff International Airlines, Inc. after the original Braniff International Airways. However, the reborn airline was scrutinized intensely by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), which did not believe that Braniff’s management team, headed by Scot Spencer, was capable of conducting airline operations, based on Spencer’s conduct while employed with Braniff Inc. and his criminal history. Spencer had previously been a consultant for the parent company of Braniff Inc. but had resigned, reportedly over concerns about his repeated arrests for writing bad checks and an arrest warrant for having failed to return a rental car in 1988. Seeking another way to begin flights, Braniff initiated the acquisition of the assets of bankrupt Austin, Texas air charter company Emerald Air, including its air operator’s certificate, but the USDOT still refused to certify Braniff unless the principals submitted sworn affidavits stating that Spencer would not be involved in any capacity. Chodorow and others did so, which satisfied the USDOT, and the airline was granted permission to operate.

Investigators determined that Spencer had been “heavily involved” in airline operations and had been paid $351,411 in secret kickbacks from commissions paid to an advertising agency. On July 19, 1994, Chodorow and Spencer were indicted for bankruptcy fraud, fraudulently concealing the bankrupt airline’s property from creditors, defrauding the USDOT during the airline’s certification, and obstructing a pending proceeding of the agency. In a plea bargain, the U.S. government dropped the bankruptcy fraud charges against Chodorow, in return for his guilty plea to the USDOT charges. On May 23, 1996, Chodorow was sentenced to four months in prison and four years’ supervised release and was ordered to pay a $40,000 fine; he had earlier agreed to pay the airline’s bankruptcy trustees $1.25 million in restitution over five years.
