Thumbs down Sackings at Airlink

Have just heard that Airlink have fired the entire pilot compliment (4) operating the Lear 31 and Baron based at Ulundi.AirlinK had the contract to operate the aircraft on behalf of the Kwa -Zulu <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=government&v=56">government</a> and as a result of some sort of dispute between them( Airlink) and the govt the aircraft are grounded.I believe that the crew have been simply dismissed without notice with immediate effect.There is no question of any wrongdoing by the crew. Not too sure but I think a couple of them are ALPA members,be interesting to see what help they get from that direction.Anyone out there able to shed any light on the matter.I didn't think you could just fire <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=people&v=56">people</a> nowdays but obviously I was wrong.Good luck to the affected crew.
