"Avantair’s decision to voluntarily ground its fleet likely forestalled action by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”)."
Sounds like this group is calling BS on the grounding being completely voluntary!
We're Back...
I saw N189SL land in Teterboro as I was departing yesterday. No jokes on tower frequency though. Do you have a good Ha-Ha you would like to share?!

Getting asked to leave for my F.O.'s iPad video idea, kind of comical... Getting my five year pin about 2 1/2 months after the fact from Avantair HR, even more laughable! But I am hardly disgruntled about losing a job I would not even have at present! While I had it I dreamed of flying airplanes...
Like I didn't get called into PIE for carpet dances like every other Captain there that had a back-bone... I have said this before, this forum should be about the facts not propaganda that hides the true!
You both sound like Avantair Management Droids!
Apa
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?
Before Avantair I was flying freight single pilot in Cessna 210's at Flight Express. Followed by flying Cessna 310RRRRrrrrs at a small charter/freight FAR 135 operator for a total of 2 1/2 years at both places and experienced far less MX issues! Kind weird that I have 2500 hours in piston...
I think Gl-asspilot worked here before Avantair...

All valid points! It was good flying with you MJPilot!
$$$$
Rumors sometimes turn into Facts?! So why layoff the whole pilot group if money was not an issue?? Hard working Avantair pilots are on the street cause the dollars-dollars are running out & going where, Gl-asspilot? Sounds like not enough of those $dollars$ are going to the MX...
I had 4 emergencies seen to a successful conclusion during my 5 years at Avantair: 2 engine failures both un commanded & commanded, hydraulic pump failure, lighting strike... I MEL'ed & wrote stuff up! I care to not comment on carrying write ups at this company... In the end I enjoyed flying the...
Well, I am just glad I was given the resignation option like countless others that got Avantair justice! Also glad I left FAA violation free... The 5 year pin & CEO letter two months after the fact from H.R. was a classy touch!
Stock
A new low of 10 cents a share on Aair stock? Wonder if it will hit single digests today?

Not an Avantair call sign to be heard on the airwaves flying this morning from D.C. to Miami...
