Yeah, if you check out flightaware, you can see all the Saabs and J32s went back to MQY. Anyword as to why they are being "grounded" ?

Just heard that all check-airmen need to be re-qualified and in the meantime operations are suspended. Supposedly, all pilots, mx and dispatch personnel will keep receiving their paychecks.
If it makes anyone feel better, about 6 years ago there was a similar situation but much smaller scale. A simulator instructor was deemed unqualified by the FAA all of a sudden (Medial issue) and some 1/3 of the pilots had to retake their PCs. Of course numerous flights were canceled then too but ultimately Corpex survived; let’s hope same will happen now.
In the meantime though - hit the books! If all check-airmen need to re-qualify it means many if not most PCs will have to be retaken again. I remember 6 years ago when 4 months after my PC I was told to fly to STL to have another PC later that day; could happen again.
Good luck everyone, Regions can recover from this!
Yeah, the repo thing is confusing but maybe they are using the part 91 excuse again?
Also, if Corpex does fold, which for the sake of the employees we all pray won’t happen, make sure your DO, Chief Pilot, etc. sends a letter to their counterparts at as many airlines as y’all can think of asking for a “Chapter 11” interview for your pilots, dispathers, etc. Many airlines will offer interviews for employees of grounded airlines (Midway Airlines, Independence, etc).

Uh-oh...I was there back when something simular happened. Now, if the pilots weren't legal, how could they repo the AC? Some kind of 121 paperwork glitch...Holy fracking excrement! I had multiple messages on my phone when I got in country...
I never figured it would be for paperwork that the place would cease operations-the last time they had some ckairmen that were legal and the sims were done in a hurry but if all of them have to requal that is going to take much longer. It was done in about three days last time and only about 60% of the crewmembers were affected.
My bet is that the mystery investors are really impressed now! Av8or, I hope to God you are right about the requals and the pay!
Guys and gals, my thoughts and prayers for your upcoming interviews! Good Luck! Go forth and prosper! There is no time like the present. If any of y'all have outstanding job offers but have held off because of the training contract check with a lawer, I bet this will void it if you are quick and clever!

And the market is booming for pilot hiring right now, which is much different than when alot of us were there.

Once opon a time there were some really sharp people doing some of the jobs like records...but that was Corporate Airlines and some the planes still had "CE" on the tail and there was a RDU base, ya know?
Some of those folks were the first to be disappeared after you know when...guess that they were too expensive.
Well, ya gets what ya pay for!
It just occured to me that the "paychecks will keep coming" line is sort of an echo of past statements...it was wrong back then and the company was in far better shape than now. I hope that this time they live up to it!

922 and 933, right? Or is 917 one of them...ya know, some things are starting to get away from me...I think that might be good!
I also remember that yamaco had some really cool cheat sheats. Given the rush to requal everyone last time with so many folks out and grounded without their books to study I made many copies and stapled some nice packets together for the crews to refresh with. The wicked witch of the midwest beoched at me for wasting her printer then called the DO and he sent out a nasty letter about how we should be ready for checkrides all the time...yeah, guess you should do approaches to stalls on every flight so you're ready for that sim ride, right?
No good deed goes unpunished!

This thread seems to be non-ending!
Well anywho it might end soon if Regex goes kaput. I do hope it doesnt for the sake of the crews and employees (know many of ya'll). At the same time it might be good if it were absorbed into another regional.
Advice to anyone looking to fly or be an F/a....steer clear of Regions. Big roller coaster ride there!
Anywho take care friends at regions, hope ya'll are doin well.

(and soon to be Rv-8 owner....if all goes well @ Sun n Fun)

RV's are cool...got to have some fun in a -4 a couple of times...
I don't know how I missed this one...
Tram quote:
"Man, nothing like an over night is UIN.. I's is boooorreeed..."
Too bad you never had a long overnight there with me. You missed out, the UIN's once opon a time were double crewed...I kind of miss The Abby and wtf was the name of the Irish Brewpub...and the two places down on the river...and there is always the 24 oz can from the gas station, the burger from wendys and back to the room for supper...
Rented a car once in BRL and drove down to UIN to party with the crew there one saturday...smoking stogies in a rented convertable...with a designated driver! Don't get much better than that!
Ya got to make your own fun man!

Haha, beat me to it. We still have a few three-airline planes. They say "Corporate Express" on the tail, "Corporate Airlines" on the fuselage, and "Operated by RegionsAir" next to the pax door.They still have CE on the tail..

It was essentially record keeping that killed Value Jet...the Feds take it really seriously.
Tram, I'll offer you a POS Jetta and $500 for your RV. Sorry, I haven't recovered any better than that from 6 years at CEA!
Let the bidding begin!
