I hope no one is holding their breath over the new start up.
'twas only last week that I hear that the 3 engineering companies that could have helped out, have all politely turned down a request to use their JAR145's for a possible (or wholly unlikely) start up.
That makes any possibility of a start up in the UK zero, as they were the only players with the a/c type that was mentioned on their 145 at present.
FAR too much money was owed for TAWS/TCAS/checks etc etc etc all over the place for it to all be allowed to happen all over again.
And thats before the HMCE investigation, and some investigation into the pension fund that others on here may be able to shed some more info on than I can ?
