mike21 is obviously UKIA, possibly management or even higher.
I've some knowledge of UKIA, have met the boss on a few occasions and am afraid to say saw this coming. There's ambition and there's blind ambition.
Business plan anyone?

MIKE21 its obvious your a megga fan of UKIA, but your missing the point mate, any company big or small must have some regard for its employees AND THAT MEANS PAY THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK. Im goin to ignore you from now on, your comments are pointless
unnecessary childish comments

Aircraft are showing listed since 28/9/2007. That was before they even started.

That listing is for the wet lease of the aircraft when UKIA were looking for ad hoc work to fill in between the scheduled services.

No they don't own the airframes.

I was only told who was marketing the airframe and the price they wanted for it - US$13 Mill.
Incidentally, what is happening to the out of work crew members? A tad more important than the aircraft!!

Well Guys and Girls
Today is the 29th January and still no pay , we all recieved letter and still no pay, it even states in the letter that we will get our money which is due to us when we hand in the company property
Well on employee went and the owner said she needs a reciept of the pass office in EMA so they went to EMA got a receipt and when she returned to the office to collect the money she got told SURPRISE SURPRISE
WE HAVE NO MONEY TO GIVE YOU
the employee followed all the correct procedures and still no money , this has become a farce of the highest degree
what are they playing at, it clearly states in the letter sent that we are entitiled to our money , why does the owner just pay the people there money and be done with it , then they wouldnt be slated or ridicluded in this way as for MIKE 21 well he is on the payroll and bet he has been paid also it has come to light that the owner also has a FINANCE AND MORGTAGE BUSINESS
and to add insult to injury one off the crew is now working in his office in sheffield, HMMMMMMM I WONDER IF SHE HAS BEEN PAID OR IS SHE JUST PLAIN STUPID
GIVE US OUR MONEY AND WE WILL LEAVE THE WORLD OF UKIA ALONE< DEAD AND BURIED

ex staff vs ukia staff
Well I have read the post and I can’t tell who too trust it looks like it’s mostly the ex staff that are replying and some still working ukia staff, so if you guys dont have anything better to do it may be a idea to look for jobs other then replying to each other all day

UKIA
Well, K1ng - try telling that to the people fighting for their money from these sharks..
You obviously have been able to pay your mortgage, bills, and put petrol in your car since Christmas. These people haven't.
Is it too much to ask for, to want the money they've earned?
Despite recent events these people have worked for UKIA and expect to be paid by UKIA. Maybe the owners and their sons and nephews could sell some of the flashy big black cars they ride around in, and pay the workers their final salaries and expenses?
Ginko - no surprise there. So many promises, so many lies. These people did not deserve to have you all, giving so much for the cause and be let down time and time again.
Mr K - pay people their money and they can all move on.....

Is UKIA still trading? If so, are they trading insolvently? If they are, check out the law, people. UKIA is a Limited company, bound by Company Law.
If the company is in administration then, if you are owed money, you'll need to lodge a claim with the administrators. You will be an unsecured creditor, behind the banks and anyone alse with a charge registered against any UKIA property.
If the boss has made personal guarantees you may be better able to claim.
I wouldn't waste any money persuing a claim though.

Chicken or Egg
When you think about it, the DFO was "suspended" and the head of Cabin Services hit with the same fate and then the HoT resigned just before the plug was pulled.
Now a cynic might wonder if the writing was on the wall then and the sackings were a smokescreen to confuse the issue?

Still Solvent
Company seems to be still solvent, altho not operating. They have got millions invested in the airplane but no money to give to the troops.
