Any updates on Avantair? It's been a little under 2 weeks since they grounded the fleet. That's already past what the CEO said the down time was. Does anyone think Avantair will actually resume operations? Or is the FAA shutting them down?

Personally I don't think anybody knows what's going on, not even management

Sometimes people write negative things about a company because they are discruntled ex-employees who have an axe to grind. In the case of Avantair however, the outrageous stories are all true.
Don't be fooled by the glossy brochure. This place has serious safety issues and I wouldn't let their mechanics work on my lawn mower.
The majority of the pilots there are highly skilled professionals with vast experience. The rest of it, well I think Mr Burke said it best.

I'm here to tell you as an active pilot that while there may be issues, and I'm not saying there aren't...many of the stories I've read here are complete BS. I've been here for over 6 years and have never been pushed into flying.
I've grounded plenty of planes too. Never an issue. I explained what's wrong and write it up. Mx comes out and they fix the plane or we differ it IAW the MEL.
Point is the stories are not 'all true'. And that's a fact.

One who says differently is either a blatant liar, or entirely blind to reality.
