As far as I know they are lodgeing an appeal today. But quite who is heading the appeal I have no idea.

Replying to Dada's post.

I have lots of good words for MOB, most of which you probably heard from me when I worked there and all of which are unprintable!!!

Lets hope Kevin H does come to the rescue. A good business man who I have a great deal of respect for. If anyone can get back it back on track Keven can. He knew the value of his employees and you could always talk to him and he would always listen (might not agree) but he'd listen.
He gave me my first chance and Streamline was a happy place to work.
"HAPPY DAYS BUDDIES"
I'm sure he would get the support of the 'Emerald' team.

As for the appeal maybe the mob'ster is driving down to Gatwick with his baseball bat as we speak.

Interesting to read that KH is back in the frame is there a possibility that money still owed for the Streamline takeover (alledgedly there are payments outstanding) could actually be Emeralds saviour ?

Oh incidently I fully expect Emerald to be back in the skies tonight or at the very latest tomorrow with a new Accountable manager at the helm.

You heard it here first

EI, if that's the case, then that would be fantastic news. Emerald keeps going and MOB gets his marching orders....

Perfect!

I don't think it's even worth responding to him, There’s always one isn’t there

Well whatever you think of the management I just hope that they can get the AOC back and we can just get back to work. Still no news.

Well MOB, I must have dream't the conversion course on to fixed wing, If my memory is as good as I think it is I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, although reading what some of your ex employee's are saying I would have certainly remembered such a "well mannered and kind man". No I'm certainly not a pilot, the commissioning board at Cranwell didn't like the school I went to so was only offered SNCO entry, those out there who know will get the gist. My flying hours were substantial with Her Majesty's airline. It does make me wonder though why so many people dislike you, is it because? your an entrepaneur, a risk taker, a man who gives 200% to any co he works for, or just because they are all jealous of your taste in women.

Yo sensible bod, I don't really think MOB is MOB, I don't think MOB lives in Southend. I only know one person who does, and if it is him, then how are you doing mate. PM me

Still no flight plans filed for this evening so it dont look like they will be operating unless something changes very quickly. Any JEM ops/crewing bods got any news? Hope it gets resolved tomorrow.

I've just checked the company e-mail and nothing is on it YET! Although we have been sent some emCHIRP forms in hope of continued employment?

Perhaps we need to remember that this company pays our mortgages, provides money for our basic needs so that we can lead life style we choose.

I am amazed at reading the cheap shots some guys have been making over the last few days to settle up old scores, for one upmanship or trying to be clever. I frankly don't find this amusing at all. My livelihood is at stake. We all know by know what has caused this company to be subject to the CAA attention. I'm sure that you could find some other site to vent out your talents!

If anyone has any useful new information perhaps a lot of Emerald Crews, Engineers and Opps staff plus admin staff would like to know how their income is going to be affected! We are part of a team which should be pulling in the same direction.

I think Trill Flyer might be suggesting that the CAA pull an AOC on the strength of what the CAA may read on Pprune.

These times they are a changing ..............

Trill with all due respect,

Nothing that has been posted on here is likely to have any bearing on what has happened or will happen in the future.
I very much doubt that any FOI takes any notice of an unattributable internet message board.

There has been some things that this board has been useful for. I have many times warned people against buying a type rating from Emerald, the most recent was less than a week ago. Hopefully that just helped to save someone a lot of money and heartache.

There is naff all any of us can say to make it any easier and the fact that you come onto PPRUNE searching for information about the future of your own company is indeed very worrying. It's not PPRUNE's job to help you through this, rather I would have thought the caring sharing management bods would be keeping you all appraised of the situation.

Oh I forget, they couldn't give a fat rat's clacker for what any of you are feeling at the moment, unlike many of us here.
We maybe powerless to help any of you, but you certainly have my best wishes for a successful outcome to this farce. (Not that it actually helps anyone pay their mortgage.)

Well the Accountable Manager has apparently now been sacked.

AJ will slot in as CEO and we await tomorrow who will take the Accountable Manager's role. My mole tells me one fleet will restart operations tomorrow must probably the SD3-60 although I think it remains to be seen how many routes will be viable after the fiasco.

Benair will certainly be operating the Scottish routes for the forseeable and that is a FACT, looks like some newspaper flights have gone to BAC who I hear are trying to bring into service some stored a/c to fill some gaps and are desprately trying to put some F27's back in the sky by all accounts

While it is EXCELLENT news that JEM will restart operations, just exactly what is left of their contracts to fly once the dust settles due to some astounding customer service neglect ?
