Skywest F-50's Grounded

Anyone know why Skywest's F-50 fleet was grounded yesterday? I heard it created major problems for the airline. Maintenance problems?

You will need to grow a think skin and recognise the sarcasm when you see it, otherwise you won't last 5 posts here

Was it a CASA grounding or XR being a little cautious?

3 x aircraft went US.....one of which had a power rollback on TO out of Perth. No spare aircraft in the fleet makes scheduling a little more difficult, but apparently it was all made up by the end of the day.

Monopole.

I have very thick skin, and have been around for many years, longer than you, but just have not spoken up for a long time.
