Penniless...but still smiling
Bigglesgoggles has got it right. Out of a sense of duty to Cleveland's customers its staff have worked for nothing since the beginning of September. Despite losing the Leeds Uni contract (and for the facts on that, rather than Wings Bar gossip and speculation, please read UniFlyBoy) CFS has still been a profitable little business. However, the staff have been powerless to prevent customers' money being siphoned-off into bank accounts unknown - it certainly hasn't been used to pay suppliers or staff salaries. A small correction: the staff haven't 'walked out' - they are unwilling to generate further income for Disley until their outstanding salaries have been paid, so they have withdrawn their professional services. The CFS team of Claire, Sarah, Richard, Mo 'n' Ed are honest, decent people who have continued to work under increasingly intolerable circumstances. Even now, they still have the guts to go to work and show their faces to the customers, which is more than their Disley 'superiors' have deigned to do. The staff at Cleveland Flying School deserve the respect and admiration of all of us fellow flyers for the stand they have taken.
