Sorry to hear that and a little surprised. It is a horrible thing to have to go through but that is our industry and where one door closes, another opens. Good luck to all involved in finding something new.

Having worked for them when they were Maersk I can only offer my best wishes for all those now unemployed and to hope they find employment soon. I hope that BA and AP Moller hang their heads in shame (doubtful when they are stuck so firmly elsewhere)

Whilst I feel for guys losing their jobs, what the h*ll has it got to do with BA? Maersk used to be a franchise partner, AP Moller decided that aviation didn't fit in with future company plans and so sold on to Duo [at least that is what I recall]. Nothing to do with BA.

Sorry to hear the news guys. It's a ruthless industry we work in and when we do we get treated like crap. I for one look forward to the day the tide changes and we hold the cards. It happened before and it will happen again. Good luck with the job search.

Tongue in cheek warning!
I think it must be the curse of the Oxford AT website!
First European, now Duo. And as for the guy with the 'job' at Now.........
Don't give 'em your pictures guys - it's the kiss of death I tell you.
Seriously though, sorry to hear it and fingers crossed for you all. Good luck.

So sad to se this happen.
The whole MBO thing must have been founded on a crock of ****. Moller and the participants must have anticipated this since it's such a short period of time since the planning and execution.
Now we know the truth . The MBO was just a "way out" for the Danes.
Some really great guys work there ( though many left for BMI etc). I wish them luck with the job search. ( At least BA and Virgin looking for large numbers this Summer)

Obviously a planned manoeuvre by management.
Why else wait until all flights have ceased for the day and staff have gone home. Appointing an administrator at 00.01 must have been the intention and well known to the higherachy for days.
It's even out of hours for accountants!
The web site message is nothing more than sticking two fingers up to everyone, staff and passengers alike.
