Bills not being paid?
 

As soon as the rumours started I contacted numerous people like myself that could be left being owed money. "little people" like myself need protection and if the law is not going to protect us then we have to help ourselves. Anyone that does not ensure that they are paid fuel/landing fees before the crew departs must have more money than sense. What was that about "a bird (or helicopter) in the hand is worth 2 in the bush"?

wickednorthernwitch it seems like you might have done a few people a favour, I hear that yesterday an aircraft was impounded until the operators paid all outstanding bills. EGTU is not big enough to stand the loss. The same applies to a lot of other places. I feel sorry for the crews. I'd hate to be continually placed in that situation.

The background to this thread topic is obviously very disturbing, but the continuing insistence by a small number of posters to attribute 996's problems to a wider issue just cannot continue.

Should the assertions be disputed by any company then PPRuNe's complicity in allowing the posts to remain in the public domain would put me in an invidious position.

Until the full facts are known and made public, this thread will have to be closed.
