Been paided for Jan as expected and seeing as G-sova went to Cannes and the alps yesterday and is in the swiss alps tonight I don't quite see how that counts as being grounded. G-luxy is being flight tested by the CAA at the earliest opportunity, the last date being cancelled due to the high winds recently. The move to Biggin has now taken place. Any other negative remarks?

Ho hum, quite a bit of, well, nothing, in here. I got paid for January ok. Where did this rumour come from ? Seeing's I got paid on 31st January, and you posted this on 8th Feb, you seem to be quite slow putting this on here. Care to expand ? I don't mind a bit of good old fashioned mud-slinging, if there's some truth in it, but this seems to be a bit of a 'fishing' line.

Rumour straight from the source....
A collegue of mine was made aware of this while carrying out an internal safety audit. It was a senior member of staff who furnished him with this information. So if there is any mud-slinging going on..........its from the inside. Dont shoot the messenger, however I think the above posts tell their own story. This is a rumour network afterall, for the sake off the guys/girls flying I hope its not true. Lets just watch this space.

your sources are wrong New Timer - a pruning and restructuring would be a more appropriate description......
sometimes companies get into difficult positions through a variety of reasons and have to take harsh decisions to extract themselves out of the poo and get back on the road to recovery...... what they dont need is illinformed people spouting off voicing incorrect information......

Well, seeing as the Dornier's going / gone then surely a new name would be on the cards! Club *** maybe? Perhaps that's why Plane Chartering stepped in

Well, my source says they have made all their pilots and their Continuing Airworthiness Manager redundant at the very least, and indicated that they might not get paid... sounds fairly terminal whatever spin you want to put on it.

Those people that need to know what is going on at the moment have been informed.
New Timer Any chance I could have the name of your source seeing as I'm a pilot for the company and have not been made redundant!!! Please be careful when making comments like this as they are clearly not based on any factual information
I may be made redundant at some stage but at this moment in time I'm still employed!!

New Timer - yes this is a rumour forum - but YOUR RUMOURS are incorrect.
The biggin operation is likely to centre around 2 types of aircraft, both that are reliable and accepted as workhorses in the charter industry.
Yes there were cutbacks this week, but there is more than sufficient funds to continue operations - how about you just bite your tongue a little and improve on your maths - 2+2 does not equal 7,392.43.....
Any accountable people as per the EASA requirements for an AOC will either be replaced or still in situ - otherwise you cant operate - can you...!!!
So odds are that if people are still employed which they clearly are then there may be some new people in new posts.....
In the industry we call in RESTRUCTURING.... however normal caveats apply - long way to go and no promises it will be successful - however dont try - dont know....
