Trans States Airlines to Cease Operations
Regional carrier has announced that they plan to cease operations by year's end, citing pilot shortages... 36 of their Embraer E145 aircraft will be transferred to ExpressJet and there will be no impact to Compass Airlines or GoJet (who are both owned by Trans States Holdings) (thepointsguy.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
We bought a few from Swiss Air. The first was an LR tail number N829HK. We started that on UsAirways Express flights. Based out of Richmond, VA and staged out of Pittsburgh.
Sad.. hope they care for employees
Reportedly all pilots will be offered jobs at Expressjet and Expressjet will be opening an IAD base. Also, senior pilots flying on the Trans States certificate can move over to the GoJet or Compass certificates.
FA's will also likely be given preference at Expressjet.

They never did, so why start now. (I was based in STL for 37 years and knew quite a few of their employees over the years.)
how sad for the current employees of this regional carrier..for a long time the major airlines were pushing to have regionals as affiliates in order to serve smaller markets and not pull out completely..it takes such a long time to get qualified pilots,and the beginning salary at a regional if not that much...airlines used to pull from the pool of retiring military pilots,but there aren't that many anymore...
"Pilot shortages". Damn, never heard this when ramp loads of us were leaving our F-4's & A-6's for the civvie "office". I digress.
MOST FUN I had on any commercial flight.
