STAGE COACH DRIVER I didn't leave as you mention, I found out that I was no longer on the payroll because the postman delivered a letter to me one Friday morning. Under employment law, the employer is supposed to discuss redundancies with his/her employee before making their decisions and not to be told by the postman !
I have no axe to grind, but it saddened me at the time that so called loyal and professional people, with whom I've known for many years, can turn out to be twisted and down right ugly. How they can get away with the lies and deceit is beyond me. We all know who they are so there is no point in going any further on that subject.
I do feel sorry though for those, like you, who now find themselves out of work but my advice to them and you, is to do what I did. Get another job straight away and put the whole experience behind them. Good people find good jobs because good people will always rise above the ashes and survive. Just like I have.
Maybe now others will come out with the truth about Cougar Leasing and the so called "loyalty" from it's owner. I for one don't care that the company has closed or is closing. I do however, as mentioned above, care for those who are good decent people who will now have to pick up the pieces and start again.
major1 I wouldn't hold out too much, too many lies means not too many aircraft. MD11's, B737's, B747's, L1011's and oh, to all the ex cabin crew, yes, you were lied to also.
