Jimbo, mostly I agree with your point of view. I think where FLEW lose sympathy is that they required all other interested parties to be sent packing, allowed people to move and/or reject other employment based on their (FLEW's) promises of future employment.. .. .If they weren't prepared to put their money up front, and it's not entirely surprising that they weren't, they should not have indicated a future for 'employees' until they had all their ducks in a row.. .. .It seems to me that very few people, informed or otherwise, are truly surprided that FLEW didn't get airborne.. .. .(must learn to prrof read before clicking the submit button!). . . . <small>[ 08 March 2002, 06:16: Message edited by: Capt Claret ]</small>
