How many operators would take bookings from him, if he was acting as a broker?
They'd all need immediate payment I'd imagine.

Bankruptcy Hearing

The hearing was postponed for seven days apparently. Assets available for distribution were £10,500 and debts totalled circa £2,400,000. 240 into one doesn't go? HMRC will probably get any scrapings that are left in the pot, sadly the crews are unlikely to see anything at all, - as for the creditors - no chance!!! As long as PC gets his new car, and the private school fees are all paid, that's the main thing...!

Regarding the last 2 posts, apparently Crowther turned up at the initial hearing on the 4th December, stating that he's also a creditor and is owed a total sum in the region of £1 million!!

This guy has the hide of a dozen rhinos!! I'm surprised he wasn't lynched on his way out....living in hope, and all that

I have no doubt that there are plenty of operators who will take his money - up front of course. I'm not aware of anyone who can afford a moral victory just now.

.... except those companies with a reputation to uphold, perhaps.

I think there's a Freudian slip in that there typo ... "wtrack":

wrack
n.
1. Destruction or ruin.
2. A remnant or vestige of something destroyed.

The website leaves a lot to be desired.......it is unnecessarily small, it looks cheap, and it is grammatically incorrect with the first word..... The plural of Aircraft is Aircraft, not "Aircrafts".

There are then numerous typo's and spelling mistakes......just what the discerning corporate jet charter customer needs for reassurance in a startup company.

I wish them luck.....

I like the bit on their website in the "about us" section, under the header "Financial security".

- In these uncertain times, would you hand over tens of thousands to a complete stranger, etc... ?

Better be a stranger than known for certain things methink.

Good luck to rentjets.com

OK, H ‘n’ H might be suffering from combined heat exhaustion and altitude sickness but, if you look on the Rentjets website under “About Us” “Financial Security”, is the pic not of a U2?

Yep, that U2, ex-CIA spy plane of Garry Powers fame! Surely the most bizarre Executive Jet so far! Tell me it's just the heat? Please?

rentjets.com

It looks like 'someone' (Hello Paul!) from Rentjets.com is watching this thread......either that or its a complete coincidence that some of the spelling mistakes have been corrected.......'Aircrafts' has now been changed to 'Aircraft' !!!!

LOL! The power of pprune!

And no Hot 'n' High, you are not suffering from heatstroke, that does look like a U2......yet more evidence of failing to attend to detail....

Maybe someone should ask Rentjets.com for a quote on it?

As per the advert...
Long hours guaranteed!
And on the website/about us/ Safety...
There are unscrupulous operators who operate private planes without proper licences.... Our experience is there to protect and serve the 5000+ clients in our database.
Never seen anywhere that in aviation, having pilots doing garanteed long hours was in the best interest of any customer's flight safety. Even if following FTLs, which I am sure, when they say long hours, they mean within the spectrum of the law.

Pay attention lad! Post #260



A naughty person with time on their hands might decide to send rentjets.com a message via the application page here Apply online - Flight Jobs

They would have to include something as a CV. Someone might have used this picture ....

Hey redsnail ... just to let you know Ambeo are dead in the water - old Rob 'Frankie' Spencer has been moved sideways for obvious reasons and I would love to know how many times they were mentioned to get top billing on Google - costs me a fortune every year. Anyway, onwards and upwards as they say .

Given the number of ex-employees still owed money I've taken the liberty of editing your quote in anticipation of your position six months after working for rentjets.com
