What's the scoop? Who is AEI aviation?

Hmmm, curiouser and curiouser.

So I started wondering about this new RegionsAir website update. The domain in the email is listed as aeiaviation.com. The www.aeiaviation.com website is basically the same as what resides at www.regionsair.com at the moment. So I ran a WHOIS on the aeiaviation.com domain, and it comes back as registered through Domains By Proxy, which is a popular service among those who wish to keep their domain registration anonymous.

Interesting.

The IP address of aeiaviation.com (65.99.238.95) resolves to host.sleepingstocks.com, who I've never heard of and doesn't tell me anything. So I ran 65.99.238.95 through a reverse IP service to see what other domains are associated with it, and here's what I got:

65.99.238.95 - IP hosts 10 Total Domains ...
Showing 1 - 10 out of 10

Domain Name
1 AEIAERO.COM.
2 AEIAVIATION.COM.
3 AEROESTRELLA.COM.
4 ESTRELLAAIR.COM.

7 FLYVIVA.COM.
8 PASYL.COM.
9 SLEEPINGSTOCKS.COM.

Well holy crap, it's our old friends over at Viva International! But is it really? Seems that Viva International acquired a company called Riverhawk Aviation in September of last year. Riverhawk appears to be a maintenance/charter outfit based out of San Antonio. Since then, they've been calling themselves "Riverhawk Aviation (Formerly Viva International)." Well, at least they were calling themselves that until May of this year, when they sold off both Viva and Eastern Caribbean Airlines to Southland Holding Corporation. From Southland's website, it appears that they will be operating passenger service in the Caribbean under the Viva and Eastern Caribbean names. As part of the deal, Southland assumed liability for several legal proceedings against Viva, including one from its former chief pilot over unpaid wages/expenses.

Did Viva end up with RegionsAir after all? Looks that way to me.

Wonder if the 3 on 4 off schedules will come back..

 

[belchfire]

Well, that has only been going on for a year and a half...

I wonder how long you would have to stick around to get the $5000?

hehehe...

Oops, noone is current in a jball now. They probably wouldn't like it since I can't rotate till better than 145kts anyhow!

They have some way serious problems to overcome-payscales and so on. Besides who wants to commute to PR? Yeaaach!

Who cares

The thread has 1385 posts. I'd say at the very least some people might find it interesting.
