I am not a fan of AJ but wish his endevour well. (Hopefully we won't see MOB again) He may well provide flying jobs to guys who haven't fared so well since Emerald went bust. I wish success to anyone who can do that for them.
It was apparent for a long time before it went pop that it was looming. People talked of little else, other than would they get paid at the end of the month.
Anyone who didn't want to risk being owed wages had lots of time to leave, like i did. (In fact the tw@t never paid me several weeks holiday owed).Whether they could find alternative employment or not is another matter and in fact the main thrust of my point - that they couldn't. So, they will exercise the same judgement call again, if and when there become jobs available. As for business creditors - well, that's a normal risk that businesses run when they extend credit.
No, i wouldn't go back either.
