Naughty Towerman!
I would not recommend to anyone to QUOTE If I were in their shoes I would start taking boxes of aircraft records as "security." UNQUOTE
It's never easy for the employees especially as you rightly say - they often haven't been paid for months. They usually even help the Lessor try and put aircraft records together knowing that they will still not be paid. That's credit to their professionalism - I would not recommend tainting that, with advice to carry out a criminal act.
