Who in their right mind would go for a meaningless TLA in the modern world of yuckspeak and faux shop-fronts?

Oh hold the phone, I can think of one company.

(Never knew his middle name was Steve):)

Ocean`s 13...?

You are correct - he was always there, lurking in the shadows right from the beginning. Lots of dubious things would happen while he was over in Moscow - apparently no one has bank accounts out there, and all charters are paid for with suitcases full of cash! And what a lovely new BMW he had.......

Monkey Boy but wasn't that a compoany car paid for with money received from a client for a charter. Irakli (looks at spit of Mr Bean) didnt tell anyone until accounts asked where were the proceeds for a certain flight that he had received in cassh allegedly

I heard a rumour (:}) that the managed clients / aircraft are being taken over by a company in Malta. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hyperion !!!

Blimey hope the crews don't get forced into transporting any 'special sand' !!

I think that Malta lot are getting into bed with Aero Toy Store at STN.

Not all of them...Irakli is going to be too busy as CEO of RSS Jet Centres.

How reassuring! :eek:

So I guess the Ocean Sky brand, such as it was, is now dead and buried?

Please say it isn't true that Irakli is going to be CEO of the RSS jet centres?

He's already moved his Moscow staff to work for Hyperion and they are simply useless!

How he convinced people to work/move to Hyperion I'll never know, promised them the bags of white powder.......I mean 'medical supplies' off 9H-FED probably! :E

Sky_Captain - it's true (according to the man himself on Linkedin)


So all the Moscow Ocean Sky brigade are safely ensconced at Hyperion....meanwhile every single Ocean Sky UK employee in the British HQ is redundant - nice.

I guess it must just be that the Russians were simply brilliant and we were to a man extremely poor performers. I'm just grateful that they carried us for as long as they could.....:mad:

Well quite - with their canny business sense, leadership and vision, it's a wonder that they needed any of us in the first place. :ugh:

From what I hear, the Moscow staff now make up about 90% of Hyperion.
They undoubtably have 1 person only in Malta to run their so called operation but I do feel very sorry for all of the staff in the UK, the Russian mentality of just dropping whatever company is not making money is normal in Russia!

Would you happen to know his surname for the LinkedIn page, I'd be interested in having a read of it?

Took me one minute to google Irakli and RSS........ :ugh:

Irakli Litanishvili - United Kingdom | LinkedIn

I heard TS was looking for another London office

There were a lot of good people at OCS UK; all of which were not privy to any top-level problems. I think you should clarify your comment about the team considering their future careers.

Whatever your thoughts about people at the top, there were a lot of straight, hard working and professional individuals there trying to make it work until the end.

Also, G-GABI is a hot air ballon :)

I know, twinjetter, but let me assure you - OCS mark in CV will haven an everlasting echo.

Above the clouds:

It is Her Majesty Court Judgment which I have. Not my personal judgment.

Chelsky, we are probably talking about vastly different sums, but you as a supplier and we as employees are all out of pocket following the failure.

I hope you get what you consider you are owed (and me too!). Sadly though, OCS is not the first operator failure and will certainly not be the last.

I hope also that the OCS failure will seen for what it is when it comes to the hard-working guys on the ground securing other jobs.

twinjetter:
yeap...., around 700 000 pounds and rising with 140 pounds a day....
Good luck to all hard-working people which I dare to belong to.
