Tsk Tsk, although XXXair probably will get the two Scotish mail runs from ABZ, it really is just a tad naughty telling prospective employees that they HAVE got those contracts.

Not yet in the bag as they would like to think.

I had decided to let Monty's post stay for a bit to lend a helping hand to those who need a 360 job. Given EI's response, I think it would be better if we don't encourage people's hopes getting up.

For the protection of all.

My decision. Should anyone have info that may change me mind, PM/email me.

CR2.

KPMG

Having been stiffed all along the line. It seem the final stiffing is the size of KPMGs bill which by coincidence is mounting at a similar speed to the "asset recovery". A certain amount of "full and frank discussions" are taking place in JEM towers.

FLYBE - FLIGHT CREW OPPORTUNITIES

Hi everyone - just had a call to contact you all.

FlyBe in Exter have been in touch with Engineering in Blackpool who have just contacted me. They are about to acquire another 40+ aircraft and are desperate for air crew. They are wanting all contact details of any Emerald Pilot who does not yet have another position so that they can contact them tomorrow onwards. If you are interested please pm me as I have the contact details. I will also be sending out an e-mail to all crews re this, once Paul Scholes stops putting goals past Celtic!! Funnily enough I was in Emerald's offices yesterday morning getting some of my stuff recovered, and the phones are still ringing. Very strange to be back in there. Nothing much has moved but some things have disappeared much to KPMG's dismay.

Anyway, any FlyBe candidates, please let yourself be known.

Cheers all

Sounds about right, administrators taking all the money for their own bills leaving nothing in the pot for the employees who have been left well short. Not the first time i've heard this story about them!!

Hello there,

Just tried to PM you and your Box is full. You need to empty old PM's out to receive new ones.

Aah, KPMG! I once worked on secondment for a large corporate in Oz. Each year my company contracted KPMG to file all UK employees' tax returns with the Oz taxman. Mine was very straightforward; and I earned less than 50K - KPMG raked in £1200 for the privilege! My boss's was a little more complicated (due to his share options and bonuses!) - KPMG felt able to up his charge to around £4000. On the odd occasion I had to ask for KPMG help with a related tax issue, they were v difficult to find. Good outfit.

Try again. Sorry about that but been caught out by that "Worm" that's doing the global rounds which keeps wiping out the Internet, McAfee and everything else. Back in action now so check your pm

Good luck with it.
