Of course not! I would have been surprised if you could.

Skytrax legal representatives may well have a different point of view on that. Would you care to forward a copy of the thread to them with your name and contact details or would you prefer to shelter behind the anonymity of this forum?

I think you boys are wandering a little off topic!:ugh:

But on a more serious note....... A big Thank You To Virgin Atlantic for their generosity in rescuing us from Delhi.
And Thanks to Dave & Bo for arranging the rescue and for staying right til the end to make sure everyone got home OK:ok:

Looks like GLA -Alba staff going to Loganair handling or Menzies..still to be confirmed..

While Alba- Edi remains f****ed.

I never understood the idea of an airline like flyGlobespan having it's own handling agent.
I thought the idea was to contract out these kind of services. Was Aviance so bad that neither Menzies or Servisair was considered?

The onus, if legal action were brought against you, would be for you to prove what you say. There is no need for me to disprove it.

Maybe the thinking of Dalrymple was because he owned Alba, he could also chase other contracts on behalf of Alba. Making him even more money in the process. (There was allegedly interest from Loganair & Flybe wanting Alba to do the ground handling.) Alba was 'allegedly' to get the Flybe contract in March. Which is why we were always told FlyGlobespan & Alba Groundhandling were different companies and were always kept separate. So much for that.:*

I dont think either Menzies or Flybe/Loganair will take over Alba, I dont think Menzies have the cash and Flybe/Loganair wont go self handling. Its more likely to be Swissport or Flight Support Services.

Loganair just gone self handling in ABZ, why not GLA?

E-Clear in administration order
 

No great suprise here

An order for the administration of payment processing firm E-Clear was made by the High Court yesterday (Tuesday).

The move by Mr Justice Vos followed the failure of EClear to submit evidence of funds of £35 million on Friday related to the collapse of Scottish operator Globespan.

BDO has been appointed administrator.

PricewaterhouseCoopers administrator for Globespan Bruce Cartwright said: “Over the last month we have sought financial reassurance from EClear and are disappointed that the funds are no longer there.

“We will now work closely with BDO to maximise the situation for Globespan creditors under exceptional circumstances.

“Those who bought services on credit card or visa debit, that have not been supplied, will continue to be protected by consumer card legislation and should contact their credit card issuer.”

Interesting to see that the squeaky clean Sir Edward Du Cann is Chairman of the
E-Clear advisory board.

That should have rung bells from the day he was appointed.

No comment from E-Clear as £35m deadline passes

Bless, this mob even diss their own Du Cann "exclusive" in SoS. Interesting stuff today tho'..

I'd already read your article before I posted the above - glad I'm not the only one with some grey cells still functioning.

Reply #18 (after the article) is a very interesting allegation......

Oh what irony :rolleyes:

Anyone know where Uncle Tom has gone to ?

Anyone know who else, not yet disclosed, were using the E-Clear services? :hmm:

Maybe he's donned a deerstalker, pipe and magnifying glass and is on the hunt for Elia, with his sister playing Watson. Elementary my good man.
