AvantAir entire fleet grounded for mx Inspections?

[BentOver]

I'm a Independant, but gotta agree, Obama is definitely not for the rich..... Not the results fractional operators were looking for. Then again, back when things were going good for fractionals, it sure did turn out to be nothing more than an aircraft ponzi scheme anyhow....

Taxied by 3 parked Avantair P180's that were in APA all 3 days I was there. One of them had the flaps down but was shut down... Was wondering if FAA inspections are happening all over the country?

They are still grounded? Hopefully when they are back up and running they get back pay, that is BS the company just leaves the pilots hanging.

without a union, there's no way that will happen. Funnier than that is, management is still being paid right now.

Yeah, that's hilarious

Shouldn't B19 be on here telling us how the union led to the demise of this company??

Oh wait a minute...

Yeah, I get the sarcasm fvckstick... Like I mentioned a few posts ago... We might still have a little something for ya...

edit to add: And I don't get the whole B19 thing. As I understand it, the person that you suspected as B19 doesn't work here any more...

I heard Avantair is not honoring their contracts. They are not providing charter backup. Any truth to this. If its true, they have lost their customer base.

Wow... my Molson Ice-fueled post came off as sounding kind of angry... not my intention.

Anywhoo, we're slowing returning to operational status. I just got the notice that I may be recalled next week. You'll start seeing VNR flights on Flightaware today. I can't wait to get back to the best gig I've ever had.

Honoring contracts? As far as I know we're honoring our contracts and obligations. That's not my "area of expertise"; I just fly the planes.

And to reaffirm, the guy that was supposed to be B19 isn't here any more...

Sounds like a great gig! Furlough without notice, management that treats owners like dogsh1t, marginal pay, terrible schedule, all you have to do is fly unairworthy airplanes and falsify maint docs. All the uneducated, minimally experienced pilots with violations and accidents on their records should be lining up around the corner for that job.

This really begs the question, what was your last job? Brazilian child prostitute? Heroin mule?

My god man, how hard do they have to f**k you before you put down the Kool aid?

 

[imacdog]

Just wait until Avantair management decides the no-notice furlough was a great success and decides to furlough any crew whose plane goes down for maintenance for a few days. Think of all the money they'll save.

I mean when you get to fly multiple types like the P180 I AND II, it must be a great deal!

You clowns are really something else. Give it a rest!
