refueller in phuket last night wanted the bill paid up front. company couldn't pay.
Surely the company must have seen this coming, if only a week or so ago. Don't they check their bank accounts occasionally?
Another action repeat with a whole bunch of people left unemployed and a whole bunch of people owed money.
It's like that Irish song with the chorus 'Again and again and again and again.'
Speaking of Irish, decent move by Joyce/Qantas, IMO.
The next time some big shot entrepeneurial type blasts onto the scene in a blaze of media hype telling us all how he's going to run a passenger airline to the islands and pull on the big boys, can they get laughed out of town? Please? Do we have to keep seeing this endless cycle where people end up out of work and owed money, not to mention stranded in foreign ports? It's not just the big airports, fuel companies and ASA who lose out when this happens, but all the little guys who supply catering, ground handling, seat mending and the like.
All the best to yet another poor swag of ex employees, I hope you can all find work soon.
