Any news on the Sainsburys vouchers? You owe me 2! Lidl and Aldi are good as well. I've defo got too much time on me hands now!!!!!!:sad:

none the wiser
 

has it really folded or are there just job loses?

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..... :eek: ;)

COMPANY E-MAIL
 

All those of you who can should check the company e-mail and reply to DP before it gets turned of................click!:zzz:

P.S. I like the sound of "BUFF IT UP" if only I could afford it! :E

buffing
 

u know me so well !!!! :ok: will start my pelvic floors 2 nite :p

Hawker, we'd do cheap rates for ex emerald staff.
Fly4eva don't know what you mean! It's a cleaning company, not a massage parlour, now there really is an idea!........ ;) :E

Looks like the 'Cockney W*nker' played a blinder this time. :rolleyes:
I enjoyed working with you guys while I was there - great bunch! Hope you all get sorted asap.
Jemgirl: I like the sound of your new business venture, what's the rate?!!:E

rates
 

jemgirl is cheap:8 and i,m even cheaper !!!!were getting on now ,"were needs must " ;)

Do I get discount for both of you?:E :ok:

Update
 

Anyway .. back to what I came on here for ... interesting letter from BALPA saying tut tut no staff consultation... slap on the wrist ... errmmm ... please dont tell me MOBS .. run roughshod over the Administrators also .. where does his power end ? BALPA members .. check your post .. it's not another circular !

mmm .. go and play with your dummy and try not to throw the toys out of your cot because mummy might get fed up with you !!! :)

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!!!! :sad:

Other Business Ventures
 

I do a good deal too but unfortunately my sale ends this Sunday so you best be quick!

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.:sad:

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.

rumour has it freight flights starting out of Liverpool next week no news for who or who is flying them yet

We Are Still In The Dark On This One.
 

Nobody has told why our AOC was pulled. I dont thinks the incidents stated were the real reasons. Seems strange that once our AOC wasn't restored after the last attempt(s) we all started getting our redundancy letters. Seems a bit quick off the mark what? No notice of redundacy which legally we were entitled to. Think the administrators have dropped a clanger don't you? Bit quick off the mark eh. Why was that? Were we check by the CAA for inso....y? Poor training records? Complaining about our opps Inspector PM? (not related to one of our Capt's with same surname) Running off the runway? Look at what Happened at Standstead with the footy pax's from Leeds. Didnt happen then? Track record of ignoring the CAA from the top. You can only take the uri..e for so long. All of the above or just one?

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.
