chrisbl "1700 jobs is not that big an issue. It is sad for those involved but then thousands of other people are losing their jobs every week at the moment. It probably because of the other thousands losing their jobs that put XL under. "
for me chrisbl, it is an issue, and i imagine it is to my 1699 colleagues also.......
with regards to the flight from SFB which diverted to CDG, the passengers were told inflight and although they may not have been too pleased, they were very supportive to the crew. No one got angry with the crew and they understood that we were as much in the dark as to what happened when we got to CDG as they were. We certainly appreciated their applause and cheers for us when we landed on what was XL UK's last ever flight.
to all who have posted about the XL staff, thank you for your kind words
