Interesting times from the far end of Europe
Our chum MD seems to have made Cyprus his home... After a spell of showing some of the terminally gormless and gullible at the now defunct Cobalt his bank statement (showing oodles of lucre) he seemed to be trying to make CO fly again. False hopes all round of course, since not even a washer was put into the CO accounts, but he apparently even addressed the staff and introduced himself as the new owner.... when it became clear he had no dosh and he couldn't find an angle, he dropped back into the shadows, and CO joined the ranks of Cypriot airline failures.
The TG&G at CO were apparently shown this thread, and decided to press on regardless, hence proving why the epithet TG&G is apposite.
A few months later, he is back, at the sadly troubled TUS. Same idea, got big numbers on bank statements, none of which seems to be able to be transferred... funny that. Plan seems to have been that he would broker new aircraft (well newer than the ex KLM Fokkers) at an inflated lease rate, and pocket the difference. Having some sort of car-based love-in with the US owner, who seemed (seems??) to think he is the second coming of Christ, and again seems to have taken in the TG&G at TUS - who with some lovely symmetry is the same TG&G bod that was at Cobalt.
Once bitten. Twice, um, bitten.
Rumour has it he has now been told to go forth and multiply... but is the automotive love affair still a thing?
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode....
