Mike21, I echo what The Highlander says - that is out of order.
Unfortunatley, some less experienced people will have been hurt by this too, some of them will be put off aviation for life which is a shame. It is a small world and you never know who you will bump into and where. Friends made in aviation generally stay friends -(Although there are one or two exceptions!!!!)
Yes, there were initial signs of this, but if you don't try you never know do you? To be involved in a start-up and to gain an AOC, operate charters and then a scheduled operation with less than minimum resources is some achievement (before the money ran out). Give the 'bad employees' some credit, Mike21.
It wasn't the employees that let the owners down, it's the other way round.
To be emailed with termination of contract just shows how unprofessional these people are - complete lack of respect for what was achieved by some excellent people who devoted their entire lives to trying to make this a success. And, all this after a meeting was held where the owners discussed their plans for new staff and aircraft - These people are
Best of Luck to all of the 'good employees' from UKIA - no doubt we'll meet again soon, somewhere!
