No words from me or the others on here will help you mate, but genuinely gutted for you and your colleagues. Get you and your crew down the nearest watering hole and remember the good times.

Sorry to hear that chief. I know that feeling all too well.

As I said further up the thread, “this is going to hurt”. The next few days will be tough. Tomorrow have a look & see if any of the advice I posted can be of any use.

For now, crack open the bar trolley, grab a handful of DF’s and remember the good times & great people. Better some booze goes missing than it goes to the b@stards & vultures that take so much and give nothing back.

if this is true, its very sad. Many of my colleagues who found a new job after Airberlin bankruptcy at Thomas Cook are now facing the same problem 2 years later again.
as our highest seniority captain said on the last Airberlin flight: Over and out, Have a better one!

Presumably they will wait until they are all in the air and heading towards the UK before pulling the plug?

Officially yes, but has the DLM situation which will hit the airwaves like wildfire put those ops in a precarious situation? As they’re not in the air yet.

Will have a clearer head tomorrow hopefully. To clear this up, the captain asked crewing if we could be guaranteed to get home if we entered administration down route, they couldn’t, and so he stood us down and not the company.
So that explains the delay and not the cancellation. technically should Cooks pull through, a 17:30 departure tomorrow could happen with the same crew??
