Was told today at work, Avantair, that the company has ceased operations. All employees are out of work. Plus no pay for the past 3 weeks of work.

Disgusting.
IT IS DISGUSTING

Management should pay these poor people what they owe them...

The pilots at Avantair are hardworking professionals with valuable talent. They certainly don't deserve the way rats at the top have treated them, and I sincerely hope they find new employment ASAP.
Preferably with a company that maintains its aircraft, treats its employees with the respect, and meets payroll.

Have a beer tonight, pull out the suit and update the resume tomorrow.

Good luck guys.

Nothing has changed. Santos and crew didn't merit respect years ago, and still don't. It's been a shell game for a long time, now.
