AvantAir entire fleet grounded for mx Inspections?

Obviously they know about it einstein, but it doesnt do anyone any good to fill in the blanks!

Excellent idea, let's pretend like it never happened, bury our heads in the sand and whistle while walking through the graveyard. All great ideas, but generally don't work and neither will your lame ideas.

Just wondering, has warn notices gone out to all pilots?

No WARN notice.

I thought, they had to give you 2 months notice or something? Are all ops standing down and all pilots are furloughed?

Avantair, Still Grounded, Retains Aviation Safety Expert and Furloughs Pilots

Fractional provider Avantair continues to stand down operations and has retained safety expert Nick Sabatini to help complete a thorough examination of its fleet of about 60 Piaggio Avantis, including a comprehensive review of records and supporting maintenance documentation. It has also furloughed all of its pilots and operations staff. Avantair’s fleet has been “voluntarily” grounded for the past 10 days, a move that was prompted by an incident in late July where a Piaggio Avanti was operated on two flights with a missing elevator surface.

Sad- how does a company recover from something like this? How does it retain/attract new owners? Best wishes to all the crews affected...
