AvantAir entire fleet grounded for mx Inspections?

[fugazi]

Heard today: everyone in their fleet is grounded? Wonder how much that cost em in charter..Ouch!

That might be the final nail in the coffin...

 

[NILZ_ZLIN]

Considering that 5 are in the air right now, probably not...

 

[BEfly]

It's not the first time.

 

[fugazi]

Some have been released out of maintenance..

Heard the same. Can any Avantair confirm?

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you fvcking azzholes give it a break. Avantair is my employer of choice. It's keeping my family fed, a roof over our heads, and it's how I earn money to pay my bills.

Your smarmy comments are doing absolutely nothing to help the situation over here. Please use a little discretion.

It might seem funny to you, but we're fighting for our professional lives right now.

Karma's a b1tch guys.

We weren't forced to ground the fleet. Voluntary grounding to perform non-required inspections. Proactive, in the interest of enhanced safety.

We're making sure that the fleet is fit in advance of the pending peak-periods.

A case of the old "pay me now, or pay me later", if you're a fan of old Midas Muffler commercials...

Seems odd that they were all grounded simultaneously. They could have done those non-required mx inspections as aircraft came thru mx facilities?

 

[doh]

Here's hoping all goes well! Don't know anything else, but wishing you the best!

I don't see one reply about people making light of the situation over there. Relax! Coming on here and calling people names for no reason is certainly not going to help keep them quite, actually, it will have the opposite effect.

I'm not calling anyone names. I'm genuinely worried that the best job that I've ever had might be crumbling down around me. I'm not in any sort of Management position, so I'm essentially powerless to change the course of events. Observe and hope for the best.

So, I guess I'll continue to contribute my solid 100% and continue hoping for the best. Guess I'm done with this thread for the time being. We're going to keep fighting the good fight and see what happens. FWIW, the Avantair crew is the finest that I've worked with. I'm sure we'll figure things out.

Is this Airworthiness Directive the voluntary inspection you speak of?

So you have the same fear as every other pilot in the fractional industry. sounds about the same as every other company, so don't take it so personal.
