Deep & Fast - gone a bit quiet haven't we? Given up on the advanced hoodwinking?

If it is true the cement delivery has now been cancelled and the brick work has finally crumbled, why would bob the builder & Co. be liberating items from the hangar, is this a bodgit & leggit?
Also if Old Bob & Tomo are trying to start again then surely this has to be one for the "Rogue Traders Team"! anyone got Matt Allwright's number?

Very Suspecious Circumstances

Quite true that the guy "supposedly" (but not likely) to bail out MARKOSS, DID in fact assault his previous Chief Pilot with MARKOSS staff pulling him off the person assaulted. Afterwards, those two individuals told the police they saw "nothing" and the assault charges were dropped----no witnesses!! Politics makes for "strange bedfellows".

Rumour has it that the "witnesses to the assault" who pulled the "new investor" off of the "former chief pilot" after "smashing his head against the wall" can no longer remember anything. This just gets better and better. I just cant wait for further installments.

Sadly it doesnt get any better.

They went into Administration today.

Good luck to all (apart from the 2 at the top) caught up in this shoddy affair.

Hanger 101, just to clarify, the charges have NOT been dropped, and on a PNC check a whole can of worms was discovered (apparently)

It seems the 'investor' can look forward to extradition to somewhere where he can make a whole load of new 'friends'. Some would say he may be able to charge parking in certain parts of his body!!

That doesnt detract from the fact that good people are out of a job. Its hoped that some of the management clients will look to established AOC operators to manage their affairs, definately NOT two bit wannabees who dont really know their a*se from their elbow, but would enjoy watching re-runs of Midsommer Murders in between filling the odd flight plan!

We will see......................

Greed didn't pay!

Bob the builder, can he fix it......NO!!!!!

I do however wish all the good people of Markoss good luck in finding future employment.

Bob and Pilchard the cat I guess "Jim didnt fix it for you"!!

A shoddy end to a sad affair

Well if the latest is true and staff have been trying to liberate the company of its assets over the last several days and given that the potential investor was arrested and now wanted for other charges overseas.

Key personnel disappearing over the last several months, salaries not being paid and creditors queuing up.

Tac1 not acknowleding that he jumped ship at the end of August along with the CP & CTP both deciding to step down from their posts to persue alternative routes.

Questions still unanswered as to why the founder of Markoss had his company "liberated" away from him.

The sales manager Tommo trying to justify his position by blantantly undermining the founder of Markoss (who by the way gave this guy the opportunity to get back in to aviation in the first place) after a 5 year absence... how time has given Tommo a selective memory....tut tut shame on you.

This sad story has unfolded in just a few short months (5 to be precise)

Personally I would like to remember the last 12 years that Markoss was around and just like any other aviation company it had its ups and downs, but it always held a good name and survived its problems due to the one person who believed in the people that worked for him even though it must have at times been to the detriment of his own personal situation he never gave up on his staff.

The behaviour and unknown motives of "Bob the builder" has only managed to ruin this company in a very short space of time.

Although it has to be said Tommo, you really did not help matters and I'm sure that your future in aviation may well lets say, be a bit muddy to say the least.

As for Bob, well quite sure you have a fair bit to deal with just now, hope you have a large enough mop and bucket to clean up your mess!

As for all the innocent good people out of a job, hope you will all find a resolve to this situation very soon, especially given this time of year and the present climate.

For the founder of Markoss and all other key personnel who found themselves a casualty of Bob, lets hope that this can now be an end to this chapter and better things will emerge out of this one day in the future.

No hoodwinking from me! I stated fact only and never made any comment on the financial viability of Markoss.

Not quiet just busy enjoying some sun!

Dumb dolly your boyfriend must carry a smile with you obsession with deep throat.

As for bounced cheques being fraud, that is not the case. It is a civil matter, could you prove there was a deliberate attempt to deceive you and that there was no intention to pay! Very difficult!

Administrator called in eh! Well I hope this is not the case but if so I feel concern for those with training bonds. Depending how these have been written the administrator may try to recover this outstanding money through the process to cover debts.

It would seem there is a nasty bunch of merde dispersal specialists on this particular thread, but always remember it is a small industry and the market is getting worse. Only those who contribute to success will prevail.

D and F

You really are a tremendous little bore now D & F isn't it about time you butted out of this and got on with your own sorry little life, there are enough people feeling very fed up with your irritating jibes... so do us all a favour and go and boil your head somewhere else.

Correction

Tut, tut....

Bouncing cheques is fraud ... hard to prove, grant you , but in some countries you go to jail ... criminal matter .... anyone writing a cheque without sufficient funds to cover it is signing an undertaking to pay the recipient knowing that it will be returned = fraud = criminal. Of course, if unpaid, one can easily get judgement .... yes, a civil process.

Yes, an Administrator could call in training bonds if an employee defaults first on his contract of employment or bond ... if the company defaults or fails first, then no chance of an Administrator getting a judgement in an English Court. By the way, it is spelt 'debt' not 'dept' (department), 'deliberate' not 'diliberate', and 'deceive' not 'decieve' ("i before e, except after c").

Anyway, good luck with BA or BM regional ... but hope you are better as a driver than a barrack room lawyer. Might help to learn to spell before you send out your next CV - see that NetJets, Execujet, BM Regional, and numerous others this year didn't work out. Adieu.

It's 'this' far away Phil. One of the combatants has already been retired to the naughty corner for a few days to contemplate the wisdom of their actions.

To the rest, please keep it civil.

How silly

it is funny how in these times of trouble some members of the aviation family insist on stirring it up...

My first boss in aviation (some 15 years ago) told me on the first day that people in aviation have long memories and as such, I should never upset anyone in the industry, it's a small industry and one day you may need that person...

How right he has been many times over that period and I am glad I listened to him !!!

During these trying times, perhaps the airlines, brokers, pilots and everyone involved should be pulling together rather than trying to get the last childish word

Well done to the moderator for wrist slapping those perpetrators
