jason, i truelly think we will see shane at IAO, with gurilla air

[Muzikman]

I do hope so. I am curious about the reason behind the regrouping if they are infact the same.

[SlartyBartFast]

Companies disapear every day. I am sure they did not want to close their doors and leave their customers out to dry, but what choice do they have? AA was a small company and paintball is now big business. The small companies can only keep their head above water before they finally go under and the bubbles stop.

So where did the "new" company come from then? If the new company is infact rebranded AA, then they really are a nasty piece of work.

The only reasons to close up unannounced are ALL bad. Reopening under a new name is worse. It can only mean they are skipping out on debt, expenses, or something else shady.

Check with the bankrupcy court to see if AA filed. It could be that AA sold out to a new group.

The rights of customers may be protected and the warranty's may be enforceable if bankrupcy wasn't declared, the new comapny is the same management, or the various laws transfer obligations with any sale of the company.

The Guerilla Air site looks a hell of a lot like the old AA site too...

someone on PBN mentioned that the domain names for both of the websites were regetered by the smae person.

First off, we do not know for sure that they are the same company, so before we start to assume lets just wait and see.

but, it could have been as simple as Dan the owner of AA wanted to call it quits and the remainging AA staff started a new company. In that case the new company has no obligations to the old.

Also, if you look at the Gurilla systems, they have things that make me think they could be AA, but they totally new systems.

I find it odd that they would deny that they are not AA if they really are. I mean it would come out eventually any way.

EDIT: Also, a company does not have to file for bankrupcy to close their doors. The company I use to work for did exacly that. They liquidated their assets and closed their doors leaving their clients high and dry, but they never filed for bankrupcy and there was nothing illegal about it as long as they fulfilled their contracts.

Fully agree. But you can't shut shop and then simply reopen. Depending on jurisdictions, new management incurs the liabilities and responsibilities of the old company.

If in this case, the staff is the same and the old owner is completely retired, has no connections, and receives no payment. Then customers may be high and dry. If any cash changed hands, it's another story.

Maybe GA just bought what was left of AA. At the Orlando Open, the GA guys were selling tank regs and they looked nothing like AA regs.

That's cause they're not AA regs.

[TheTramp]

So tell us. Is AA still a viable company?

[LONEWOLFOO1]

IF that the case i am not going to cry i had my tank for a long time so any suggestions on tanks that can go with my tac one?

what really sucked is that aa was adjustable i didn't need to own 2 tanks one low one high or are there tanks out ther now that is adjustable i own a bushmaster 2000 and a tac one.

From the Tinker's Guild:

Air America as we knew it has ceased to exist. There is no way of getting parts as far as i know of, and there is no way of getting anything warrantied. I dont know much about www.guerrillaair.com ,but i heard that some AA employees MAY be working there, but i dont know positivley. What is the problem with the reg/system? I may be able to help....

The good news is that you can use Classic AIR valve reg seats in Air America regs.

[LONEWOLFOO1]
