@ GlobalGlobal: Godwin! You lose.
What a load of crap. This is the second time in less than a week, that the VNV/Martinair discussion is brought up out of nowhere, in a thread that has nothing to do with it.
The other thread being the one on “KLM looking for pilots” in the terms and endearment section.
What is this? And why now? The MP/vnv implosion took place in 2013. Whatever happened then can hardly be used as an argument for current affairs. It is the same as “blaming the Germans” for anything you come across. I call this a new kind of Godwin.
Is this the new reality on any aviation news item that comes out of NL?
“Dutch aviation news! Great! Let’s blame the VNV again on Martinair!”
For the record: Martinair was primarily decimated because of greedy opportunism by certain Martinair individuals. These few guys have imploded MP from within. They had grossly over-estimated their legal position and are to blame for that mess.
Secondarily because of the reaction that vnv was forced to apply because of that stupidity.
I suggest someone re-starts that discussion by means of a new thread somewhere in the T&E section. Apparently not all is said and done.
