Into the third week of their second "voluntary" shutdown in a year.
And the lawsuits are finally beginning. And this one's not even from an old owner, it's from someone who joined AFTER the last "voluntary" shutdown...

Avantair Shutting Down...
All pilots (and probably all employees furloughed today, second time in less than a year. Also told that the company wouldn't make payroll this coming payday for time already worked.
Company asked for all company property back, so flying again anytime soon is unlikely.
Owner forum here indicates bankruptcy is in the offing.
