Jack the Lad,
I am an engineering shift leader for an airline operating out of LGW. As you may or may not be aware in this industry it is common to get a call out of the blue requesting assistance or tooling to carry out a specific task.
I was informed by phone that should I get such a request NOT to assist, as the company had gone bust
Again as you may be aware when a lien is put on an a/c it covers all equipment on or in the a/c and whilst my company would no doubt get its equipment back there would be some grief getting it. So as a precaution my superiors requested we don't put ourselves in that position.
I was curious to know more hence the post. It is my belief that someone heard the story about money owed to BAA and their subsequent actions, put 2 and 2 together and made 5.
Sheesh, I post with a query following a phone call and some bloke I've never met says I'm talking bo**ocks. The wonders of the wiggly web eh??
