Apologies to the mods if this has been covered in another section but thought it was appropiate to post here.

One year on since the sad collapse of XL and the other companies that went with it,would be interesting to know how people are getting on and what they are all up to now.

Any other stories i'm sure would also be an interesting read.

Thanks

I know we (BA Cityflyer) took on some former XL captains. And one captain whent to FlyDubai on the 737NG. That's all I know.

I reckon most have found jobs. Just a few airlines that i know have taken XXL crews are, Viking, Qatar, Korean, Eastern, Flydubai, jetairfly, Neos, XL France, Thomas Cook, Gulfair, Air India express. There are probably more and i know some are only summer contracts so i hope those guy's find something else soon. Best wishes to all my former collegues. XL gone, but not forgotten!:ok:

Quite a lot went to Viking as I recall, something like 40%

Cabin Crew wise, I was one of the lucky few to get a permanent contract at bmi LHR. A about another 20 X-XLers have joined me.

The majority of crew are split between the LGW charter carriers TCX, MON and VIK.

Arik Air picked up some Cabin Crew also.

Some have also joined EI with their base, along with some other crew on temp contracts with EZY. Then a few have gone abroad with QR, and EY and some at STN are with Titan.

Thanks for asking nice to know we are not forgotten!, at my base brs most went to tcx few ezy then rest dotted around at flyglobespan, emirates and qantas to name a few. Very few jobs out of brs these days all temp contracts. Hopefully 2010/11 onwards will bring some employment for those who have put their wings in storage! :ok:

To all you ex XL guys and gals, good luck in your new jobs.
