A friend told me that Regions Air cancelled all their flights one day this past weekend. Was wondering if anyone knew why? Something about a dispute with FAA?
Regions Air?

I heard Great Lakes will be picking up all but three cities. Sounds like the end of Regions Air.

I had a few friends lose their jobs because of this SNAFU. Thankfully Pinnacle is pretty much taking everyone on the spot.

Sorry, I was refering to the AA connection flights. I forgot they had some flights to WV.
