Your right what goes around defo comes about just a matter of when.

I hear on the grape vine the ex CEO is over seas planning to meet up with old aviation pals requesting a gab, beer and women, so now then Ops DO as per your pm sk must be single then Yabba dabba doo!! if he is behaving like that he must be CRAZY!!. Dont take the wrong way anybody just some playful banter between two, ta for the pm it gave me a right chuckle.

Hows are queen bee doing in her new job? glad all is going well for you AB.

A new year, a new beginning in all.

got some cash yesterday into my bank a/c.
not sure if its the final payment, but was a decent amount considering i thought we were going to get sweet FA.

also saw JEMB in the atlantic hangar in CVT, with the last traces of emerald being sanded off.
never did like those green carpet tiles.
will try to upload a photo.

Redundancy Payment

A credit went into my bank recently from The Redundancy Payments Office. It is about 15% of what I was owed, but better than a kick in the teeth.

If anyone thinks they have been missed out they could check 0131 316 5600!

Just found this site. Having worked for Emerald for five years then retired,it saddens me that this has all happend. I made a lot of friends whilst at work, and i would like to wish everyone from flight deck to engineering all the best and to let them know there is life after Emerald. . Illigitimus non tateum carborundum.

I have just found a £10 Sainsbury's voucher from 2004!
This came with a nice card from Andy & family the year before he stopped sending even a Xmas card.
I am in a dilema as to whether i should:
1) Send it back to Andy Janes because he probably needs it more than me
or
2)Spend it on alcohol?

Dont worry about AJ I hear that he is starting up again with a couple 748's BLK to IOM.
Maybe I'll get a command there if I hand over the necessary bond !!!

Which 748's is he going to start with ?

Are they the ones the current owner has already sold because he got a better CASH offer ?

In anycase, what would the Recievers/Bailiffs and Job Centre staff at Benfleet do with their time if this ever (unlikely as it is) gets off the ground.

You can just picture the scene at the Manchester Regional office as each FOI trys to sneak the AOC application on to another FOI's desk

Let's hope that Wendy Crick and Murtagh fight for the privilege of dealing with it!

Airliner world article

For those of you that are interested, there is a three page article in Airliner
World with some sorry looking photos of the fleet.

The article states that all the 360's have gone to BAC Express, three 748's are going to Bangladesh and MJ may be going to Duxford, and JEMB has been leased to Atlantic Airlines.

Almost a year on, it still saddens me.

I believe most of us have found employment now, unsure about the ex-management though?

Who know's you hear so many different rumours about all the ex ea folk. Someone told me they are living over sea's, vv happy. Another says he is planning on moving to the far east to work and leaving hotty sk behind-----who could do that!!

Who knows and who really cares any more main thing is most of us have found work and found the grass is greener.

Good luck all
