I know little about the Cougar situation Miss T Fayed, there are always two sides to every story. Very easy to have a go at management, they're always an easy target. Unless you or your husband have sat at the boardroom table you have no idea about managing an airline and how bloody difficult it is. So a few of you haven't got paid, you're pilots you WILL find other work. How do you think managament of a failed airline will fare? I mean after they've finished with the bankruptcy proceedings, the bankers, the lawyers, creditors, the recievers etc. You think they'll find a job easily? Maybe one or more of the directors gave personal guarantees to the bankers to secure funds, you know what that means when the business closes?

Bottom line is pilots can walk away with no strings attached. Not so easily done for those in charge.
