Dont get too excited, no formal aproach has even been made to the CAA.
2 aircraft will be involved to start off with, but with the RM vowing NEVER to be associated with certain individuals again, just who would they fly for ?? Most of the work has been taken on by other companies with newer more reliable aircraft.
A little birdy tells me that the application will have to be a totally fresh piece of paper AOC submission and that can take a long time, a bond will also have to be lodged with the CAA (stanndard practise) and its unlikely that someone being investigated by companies house and HMC will be allowed to place that bond.
Cant imagine that any FOI's will want to take on the hot potato, and for the unfortunate individual that does EVERYTHING will have to be done by the book, and by all accounts the AOC post holders that are being mooted may not be acceptable to the authority, particularly on the engineering and quality side.
Whilst those out of a job may be tempted to join aborad, there are many many people determined to make sure that certain individuals never run an airline again, EVERYTHING from this new outfit will have to be paid cash in advance, they will get no credit anywhere, behind the scenes there are serious revenue investigations going on, you cannot go into administration the way JEM have done and come out of the other side expecting all those people you owe money to will let you do the same to them again.
Best to move on, all this venture will bring is false promises, more lies and more unpaid bills and salaries.
