i travelled as a passenger on the emerald atp services to and from iom every 2 weeks. great fares and great service. i was really upset when they sold out to euromanx.....
but had the pleasure of the emerald atp crews when they were on charter to euromanx...but unfortunately couldnt travel with my airline of choice.
very sorry to hear of the company's demise...
always had a warm greeting in iom from the emerald ground staff...a great bunch of people.
hope you all get sorted soon.

Thanks to everyone who has pm'd me to say how sorry they are about the demise of Emerald. It's really comforting to know people do really care. Most of the Cabin Crew have managed to get jobs with Aer Arran. Not so easy when you have kids though! I am thinking of setting up a nude cleaning company called Buff it up if anyone is interested in employing us!...... No, it's a joke, but then again, maybe it's not such a bad idea. Fly4eva , you'd be good! ha ha.....

Sorry Sufferingspouse
Sorry if i've upset you Suffering spouse. I also have a mortgage, young son, on the wrong side of 40 and no jobs on the horizon. What has kept me going over the past few horrendous days is my sense of humour and the banter with other members which was one of the reasons i enjoyed workind at Emerald. Yes SK is very attractive, you can't blame them for that! once again i am sorry hope it all works out. if you don't laugh though, you'll cry, and yes, i've done that too!!!!

Anyone of you ATP Emerald guys in contact with Atlantic Airlines? They are hurting pretty bad for pilots with 3 ATPs online and a fourth to come soon.
Sorry for what's happening to yall, hope everybody will find something else quick.

Just out of interest, can anyone tell me if the ATPs were owned by Emerald (well, probably under mortgage) or were they leased from BAE Asset Management or another lessor?
Sorry also to all the guys and gals who have lost jobs over this affair to. All the best for the future.

I am fortunate to have departed before all this. Emerald may not have been the best run outfit but what were the CAAs reasons for suspending the AOC? They must have known that this would destroy the company and put a lot of people on the dole.
There had been a few instances with gear locking pins, tyre bursts and grass landings but these are very outdated aircraft and these will happen.
Those who have lost their jobs deserve to know that the CAA had good reasons for doing this( ie. the operation was unsafe) and not just a few paperwork irregularities found by a vindictive ops inspector with nothing better to do.
Would someone be kind enough to share this information for us interested parties.
Also, what about the shorts? is streamline going to rise up again to operate them?

Got my redundancy letter yesterday, still on the bright side I also got a letter in the second post telling me I still had a job....HOWEVER...that letter was dated four days before the first
. One of the shed guys I was speaking to seems to believe that the sheds and the contracts they were doing have been sold, as I say I don`t know how true this.

The lack of transparancy in the company hids all but the rumour network which our company staff thirved on!!!!
Steamline dead as a dodo. It didnt get absorbed into Emerald properly. They got the high viz jackets with Emerald on the back and thats as good as it got. Crews are waiting for their P45's. Only 4 sheds left flying out of a fleet of 14 originally came to Emerald I think? Didn't we do well. Sorry MOB & AJ. Not the opps staffs, engineers crews. You work as best as one can.
