Revenge on KPMG
 

Went down by Emerald Towers with one of the ex Ops Guys yesterday who noticed that most of the KPMG staff cars are all parked in the Emerald car park and have been since Friday,so anybody wanna revenge then take your pick.

we should all roar off in one

Quite a few of them on on their hollies in Latvia - they were in the next check-in desk to me on Thurs p.m. Nothing new to report from them - Airwing being given more time to get the money in from other pastures.

why are you such a tw@t by posting nothing but dashes :confused:

I heard it the day I posted the message and direct from BAC

Cheers

PLEASE NOTE - above does not relate to the message I posted regarding recruitment at BAC... no discrimination there. Just thought I would clarify as it could have been mis-read that way.

Cheers

Dobby, is that for the Scottish mail routes that they are rumoured to be picking up ??

That other lot up there are going to be MIGHTLY peed off:suspect:

Hi EI-CGO

Please check your PM

Regards
Dobby

Hi there,

No not mis read, Ian is Flybe. I did contact BAC but they are only interested in Shorts 3-60 type rated pilots as they dont have facilities/examiners/or approvals or some other reason at the moment. Or all of the aforementioned. Dunno didnt chat for to long.

Any type rated pilots go for it.

shed TRTO
 

Same reply for me too TF. The thing is, and correct me if i'm mistaken, there aren't many, if any, shed pilots out there looking for work. Most of the Sky Jem boys have moved onto bigger and better things. I don't think there is anyone in Europe who has a 360 TRTO. There is a possibility in the US, but I don't know what the procedure would be for converting back in the UK.

If anyone has any thoughts/advice/help on this matter it would be greatly appreciated.

KPMG Sell Off
 

Hi Folks

Heard the latest thing to come out of the Joke that it is KPMG last night, There are now taking offers on items within the Emerald Company,and the highest offer wins that item (i.e. An open auction for everything) oh well if thats the only way to get money for the company, what a very sad way for a company to go.

KPMG what a good idea to bring them in to try and retrieve some money back :rolleyes: :hmm:

Also good to hear now that most of the flight deck have got themselves sorted out finally now, but lets all keep an eye out still, and our fingers crossed for the cabin crew as i was told last night that the girls that went to EuroManx have been offered full-time contracts but only if they up and move sticks over to the Isle Of Man.Keep your chins up and i am sure something good will come along soon.

A quick personnal message to Andy " keep your chin up mate your bound to land on your feet shortly".

Good luck to everyone else.

Might be worth KPMG putting the whole lot on ebay :uhoh:

KPMG are not there to save the company, they are there to sell off the assets in order to (firstly!) pay for their fees and secondly to get what they can for the many creditors. The fees continue to mount so they will not sit for ever waiting for a "buyer" to appear. If nobody is interested (as seems likely) they will sell everything for what they can get. It is how all insolvency companies work. They do not take prison:hmm: ers!

KPMG have taken so long to sell what assets Emerald had, you can be sure there will be nothing left in the pot for the hard working employees that were left short!!! Shafted right to the end!!!:mad:

I will tell Leroy

Bennair have a TRTO for the Shed.

Do you have a link to Beenair web page or a price for the TR?Thanks

Leroy says thanks

TRTO
 

I think Aurigny are still operating a shed out of GCI, they may be worth trying.:rolleyes:

Anybody Have An Update On The Situation With Ea, All Has Gone Quiet?

Cars are starting to be taken away (Jag+Audi so far) only other thing happening is grass getting longer

Nothink New There Then . At Least Most Ex Jemers Have Employment Now Not Too Sure About The Ex Management Though?

Latest rumour is that new buyer is an Australian Company, who used to trade as Horizon Airways. Also BAC are supposed to have got the Sheds and the CVT hangar (free free to expand or retract on that one .........).
Also it seems that crews are being sought to re-position the impounded aircraft back to Blackpool.

Anymore got any more ???

I HEARED ON THE GRAPE VINE THAT MR & MRS OBRIEN's CAR WAS IN THE CAR PARK COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TOO EXLOADIE? LOVELY SK MUST OF REALISED AND GOT BORED OF BEING HIS SECRET...BLIMEY its been a while!!!!! MIND YOU WHAT GAL LIKES TO KNOW HER FELLA HAS A MRS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MRS LOOKS LIKE HIS ROTWEILLER scarey!!!!!!. I HEAR ALL EX STAFF HAVE FOUND THE GRASS IS GREENER SO GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

CHEERS FOR THE PM OPSQUEEN

Training Required?
 

:) Hi Folks

I'm just wondering does anyone know of any operators who might be interested in using a freelance ground instructor/CRMI?

I'm now working under the guise of Angel Training Systems Ltd (www.angeltrainingsystems.co.uk) and would like to chase down any leads if anyone knows of any work that may be available.

Hope the rest of you ex EA folk are all OK.

Cheers

Matt :ok:

Hi Matt

I'm in contact with a few different bods so will certainly let them know about you. Do you still need those contact details we discussed some time ago? PM me if you do.

Cheers m'dears

Aircraft on the move
 

I understand that moves are afoot to get the impounded aircraft re-positioned to Blackpool. So if anyone wants to join me in a box of tissues to go an see them depart out of Liverpool, let me know, and I'll advise the date(s).

That will be a very sad day to see the 748 disappear out of Liverpool (I'm filling up now at the thought of it!!)

:{

Evening Opsqueen. Do You Happen To Know How The Pretty Sarah Is Doing ? and hows MOB and all the rest of the office gals and boys?.....Cheers ma dears!

Hi Matt,
Have you tried Jet2, we are recruiting for staff at Leeds as Head office gradually migrates from BOH. Clever Trevor and lovely Laura already there!and afew of us ex ATPers.Good Luck Mate!!!:} :} :}

it will be sad to see them go... i wonder who they are gonna get to fly them ... any takers??????

Emerald ...what's the latest ?
 

The demise of Emerald Airways seems to have faded from our attention.What has happened to the employees outstanding salaries/holiday/duty pay owed ? Are KPMG doing anything to compensate the unfortunate employees 6 months after the airlines collapse ?

Not a happy bunny
 

Sweet f/a at the moment.

Apparently there's some sort of Tribunal going on. But have not heard very much. KPMG is a big multi-national monster and anyone trying to fight them for a penny is going to be swatted like a fly.

I don't have much hope......... Becoming a Jedi master is easier.....

Its sad in these situations but KPMG or any other administrator are going to ensure that the biggest debts (in this sad case TCAS fits, lease charges, outstanding airport charges etc etc) are paid off first.

Like its already been said the employees are often the very last to benefit because they dont have the ability to pay months of legal fees like many of the creditors have done in this case in order to get the biggest piece of the pie possible.

I would imagine that some news of any possible reimbursement may not be too far off, sometimes in this situation its better to move forward than to keep looking back. If it had been any other administrator exactly the same process would have taken place, its taken months and months to establish ownership on a whole range of items, thats not KPMG's fault, its the fault of one individual who thought he was bigger and better than the CAA who allowed his AOC to be suspended.

I'm afraid your ascertions are incorrect, EI-CGO.

As much as I dislike administrators/receivers/liquidators, having had many battles with them over the years, I must defend them here.

They are NOT allowed by UK law to distribute funds received from sale of assets as you suggest. Creditors are catagorised as: Secured; Preferential ; Unsecured and they get paid in that order. Salaries come into the second category. preferential. It does not matter who, how big or what you are, if you don't have any claim in the first two categories, you get what is left after the first two are paid in full, equally divided between you on a eg: 1p in the £1 basis, depending on the size of your debt.

For what it is worth, KPMG were probably the worst of the big insolvency firms to have given an airline to, but that is water under the bridge now.

IB4138, I was in a way defending KPMG.

But the first two catagories that you mention contain the biggest debts, and if you are clued up on all the whole process you will no doubt be aware that the way monies are distributed often comes down to pressure from banks and laywers behind closed doors. Its very often the employees who are the loosers, or am I wrong ?

The mess that JEM was left in it was a miracle that KPMG are at the point that they find themselves today, regardless of the administrator the shambles that they had to deal with was not of their making, thats unless you have inside knowledge of THIS situation ?

The VAT man and the Inland revenue man are amongst the secured creditors, no doubt there are others. After the secured have been paid off, the rest if any, is shared out. I know Ive been up that well trodden path :ugh:

I have a cheque from a liquidator to the value of 6 pence.........:D

It is proudly displayed on the back of the toilet door...........

I will possibly meet the `offender` next month (yes he carries on his trade as normal) sadly draging him across a busy exhibition hall by his gonads will land me with a public disorder charge (not recommended in my line of work)
