What needs to be clarified here is that signing a bond is one thing. Writing a cheque while signing a bond is quite another.
If these pilots had all asked to put the bond money IN ESCROW, as I have been suggesting they do for the last year or so, then they wouldn't now be standing in line behind the banks for their money.
Leblanc clearly has friends in the right places, and in my opinion had bancruptcy as part of the plan all along.
Go back to posts on this forum over the last year. Nobody can say that they were not warned that this would happen. It has always been a question of "when", not "if".
