I'm an interested observer in all this, who's just happened on this thread today. Can I just recap so that I'm sure I've got the story straight (it's a very long thread!)
1. Emerald lost its AOC last week and all the aircraft are parked up at BLK
2. No-one knows if/when it will be allowed to fly again
3. The company hasn't formally ceased trading and staff have (eventually) been told that they will still be paid
4. However the Mobster has been sacked and AJ is running the show
