Why has "viewer" been taken off? Whilst the few comments I saw from him made it clear that he was a supporter if not friend of MOB but also clearly has a sexual predilection that makes me think that he has a certain frustration. Despite all that I believe in freedom of speech.Banning people from expressing their views in public is the sign of a very autocratic, intolerant society. No doubt fatwas will be issued next.
Please issue one against MOB.

It would have been nice to receive a letter of thanks from the man at the top for all our hard work and loyalty. But then what you've never had you never miss. anyone fancy going the pub, pm me! That goes for you too suffering spouse.!!
A letter off a top man? who would that be. Never even saw AJ. Dunno what he looks like. Wonder where my £10:00 Sainsbury's voucher went last Xmas. RUmour has it its in MOB's draw. Didnt give them out. Perhaps he might be charitable and send them out now.

Gemgirl .. ta for that drink offer .. sounds good.
You're all gems that have outshone the rough diamond .. in the face of adversity I can only hope you all come through this.
MOB 45 .. you have confirmed my suspicions about a certain person not wishing to stand down ... hopefully he will fall of his self constructed pedestal very soon !!! (preferably into something horrible and gooeey )
Icarus5 .. viewer has been taken off coz he was taking the piss and winding good people up .. a sad case if ever I read one .. bet he's short aswell !!!
Dada .. totally agree with you on your last point about the choking bit !!!
I count myself lucky in having a lovely boss .. dunno what his wife will say about the mascara stains on his shirt after today though !!!
Sufferingspouse signing out .. Goodnight and Goodbye

Hi to all the crew who have had lovely letters in the past few day, i know how your all feeling im in the same position and im sorry!
I know how much you all put into Emerald and how un appreciated we all at times felt, that goes for me as well but we all stuck it out!
I guess its time to take bets as to who will switch the lights out on the way out!! Glad its not me!!
Hope you all find jobs soon!
Anyone wants to stay in touch PM me!
Its been a laugh, just sad it ended as it did!

Come on MOB be a man in the final hour of what used to be a thriving company and at least let the troups know what really went on. You at least have other irons in the fire .. so disruption to your life will be minimal .. for lots of others life will never be the same.
Do we take it then that no one wants to buy the company?

Really gutted to hear about Emeralds demise. It is a very sad day. Just wish the pilots and cc good luck in getting new jobs. The cc would be an asset to any company they were a top bunch. And if you can hand fly a 748 across Europe in the dead of night and deepest darkest winter, you can fly anything!! Good luck guys.

I have been following this thread with interest and much sadness. I and my other half worked for Emerald - me twice (lord knows why I returned), but I met a lot of lovely people, all of them "grafters".
I wish all the very best of luck, and with regards to MOB (I never found him attractive) lets hope it's true that what goes around comes around.
