Regions Air Ceased Operations?

Is this true? I heard it ceased operations last night.

Appears to be true. Not a single flight in and out of STL since 1700 last night.

"Problem with the certification of pilots"

This article is from earlier this week, but perhaps they didn't get the problem fixed.

Yeh.. 120 days mandatory reorganization period per your friendly FAA..

Our training procedures have not changed in 11 years.. The FAA has been signing off on everything, for 11 years..

Now, all of a sudden, the FAA says we are not complying to their wishes...

This company may be or well, was jacked, in a lot of ways, but we did what the FAA asked us to..

It's looking like it's more political than anything.. Quite a few coincidences that all fell into place at the right time.. Who knows..

Short answer: Yes.

Anyone wanna get my jacket out of the crew room for me?

Is that 120 days?

 

[Tram]

Yes, days..

 

[DiverDriver]

wow....

Sorry to hear it, guys. There were many mornings at my last company where I expected the phone to be disconnected when I called in for a briefing.

Hope they get it turned around for you guys.

'All Regions aircraft and crew have been requested to return to the company's Smyrna, Tenn., base to await further instructions'

How are they supposed to get there?

The planes have been ferried part 91..

The crews haven't been told to return to MQY.. I just got off the phone with CrewSked's.. No mention of me coming back up there.. I'm sure not going up there to sit around and wait to hear we are toast..
