The stench surrounding this whole thing is worsening. Is there any proof that PW is related to one of the Meridian directors? If so then I think some serious questions need to be asked. How on earth can XL get away with paying a fortune to this company to support its directors' salaries at that kind of level?
Re data protection and cabin crew - yes, again it looks like there is something untoward here. Someone involved in Kiss clearly has a contact list for XL cabin crew. Good of them to offer them a job. Shame no-one has done the same for any of the pilots really, isn't it.
