Reference earlier comment re aircraft operating repat flights. 13th September - Omni DC10 noted as operating UK repatriation flight (Manchester?) at Sanford. Gatwick flight operated under Monarch code using LuzAir L1011 Tristar CS-TMP.

Don't forget that it's not just airline crews that have lost their jobs either - all the Travel City staff in Orlando met the same fate, so I understand. And some were still there, manning phones and trying to help the crowds at the airport bless 'em, unpaid and with no obvious way of returning home.

Repercussions go even further of course - staff at Dollar Rentacar said that 70% of their business was through Travel City XL. And Orlando's property rental market was in a mess before all this started - this certainly won't improve matters.
