FAA enforcement action FINES certainly don't help the financial situation at VNR. I guess if you operate too cheaply it ends up being expensive in the end...

Appears we have a disgruntled employee in our midst...could be a former employee. Calling in on the hotline with a bogus report is cowardly.

Dumping on your existing, or former, employer is not cool. May bring you a moment of satisfaction, but it in the long run all it does is hurt you and your co-workers.

Pretty childish.

It's amazing how somethings never change... Instead of blaming people for the facts why not be accountable for your god damn actions before this bull $hit outfit gets someone killed?! So is the FAA childish for there enforcement actions cause it brings VNR down? Or what about the media reporting the news? Someone has to call VNR out on all there mistakes... My guess on the hotline call is a current A&P mechanic that obviously is seeing something out of order. You know what might not be cool? An accident were someone I know gets killed because Avantair's company culture is childish...

You don't truly believe that your posts, here on FI, will serve to hold anyone at AA accountable, do you?

Let's not kick these guys while they are down. They did, after all, have the balls to stand up for themselves and unionize.

More than can be said of many.

Any news......

Well, they certainly seem to care what is said on FI that is forsure! With all there management minion on FI trying to control information with propaganda to down play the facts of their financial & MX situation...

Only after a four week plus unpaid vacation & an elevator coming off a Piaggio! There is definitely balls in the Avantair pilot group cause they are getting kicked repeatedly... Thank You Sir, can I have another?! This place should have had a union 3 or 4 years ago... Hope the union works out a clause for hazardous duty pay for unsafe working conditions for the pilot group!
