Regionsair shut down
Regionsair, which provides American Connection service in STL and a few flights in West Virginia, has been shut down for the second time in a week. Something to do with paperwork concerning check airmen.
Does anyone who works there have any insight? Is the airline done for good?
It sounds like the airline has been having a tough time - cancelled flights galore.

From: Sitting down and facing front. Why would you want to know that?
I thought it was something like the check airman for the Jetstreams was not legal. I heard that just the Jetstream side was shut down for something like 90 days and were then allowed to re-open. The problem is, they will never be able to make it through that and will end up shutting down.
Take this with a grain of salt. This was all third hand information.

i think that the feds have had a hard on for them since that crash couple o years ago. From what I understand, it was just a matter of time. I've run into some of their crews in STL...........not that I am a judge of humanity, but......well I'll just keep my comments to myself. Although, them shutting down is a shame, since they are what a "regional" actually SHOULD be. I know, I know, how many times can I beat a dead horse

Unfortunately, it does look like RegionsAir is done for good; it’s too bad as they had a bunch of great employees there. Very proud of once having been a member of that pilot group - wish them all the very best!

Then why mention anything at all?
