Abra: Some points may be valid, some just speculative... the information I have is that AFX were operating some 350+ block hours over the past couple of months... so why stop what appeared to be a good operation, one that was making money???... where people get paid from is little consequence, look at half the airlines operating - they all consist of a group of companies, and quite rightly operate them to their benefit, so I don't think the AFX Engineering thing is anything major... never mind though, the Freight Dogs forum has been quiet of late, so I guess everyone has something to talk about now!!
Still, maybe if PB can get rid of the administrators, we will have a "solid longhaul freight airline in the UK".. something we'd all like to see!!...
P.S. the (even locking them out of the offices on one occasion) is just rumour...
