Looks like it's Airwave telling their employees about Airware being shut down. You can see in the first message that someone is telling the channel that Airware informed their employees of the shutdown, and the rest of the messages refer to Airware as "they".

It says in the article. It's a slack channel for previous employees, not from the actual company.

the article mentions that it was their "alumni slack" so I guess it's a portmanteau of "Airware" and "wave goodbye"?

Yeah that jumped out at me as well, I googled the two terms to see if there was some connection or renaming but couldn't find anything.

Slack of Airware alumni

I wonder what the slack channel for Airwave alumni is.
