Absolutely heartbroken.



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!

You all know this, of course, but be aware that given the situation even PPRUNE is being monitored tonight... UserName

USERNAME_ I see your DLM being delayed for lack of crew. (DL64) Someone called in unfit?

Alteagod 22nd Sep 2019 19:48

I think more than 1 poster on here is media digging for insider info

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.

Sending love to all staff, Username I really feel for you as somebody else posted think of the good times and crack open a bar if you can xx

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??

luchtzak 22nd Sep 2019 19:59

Alex Macheras is saying that the group has ceased operations, confirm?
