Are Alba gone? There website is still showing as normal. If Alba had been shut-down, would a message not appear on the website, like that on the globespan website?

Its a shame total shame if this is what happened. 35 Million for god siak surely Globespan would have had some sort of legal case there. Its also such a shame to think that it was the rest of the Globespan group and not the airline Flyglobespan that had brought them down.
The thing is unlike a shop administration the company ceases straight away so it doesnt make t very attractive for an airline to take them over with all the problems in toe. It would have been amazing for Globespan to have found some scottish or british investment.

e-clear - a partial explanation
Douglas Fraser's BBC blog discusses some of the issues surrounding the funds that e-clear have held back from Globespan. As I mentioned in previous posts, nothing to be too surprised about. However, there is some debate over the actual amount of money involved. As it stands, I too have issues over the arithmetic, but I'm not privy to forward sales made by credit card for 2010 and it's not clear whether its just sales on flights, package holidays or both. The only people who will have the definitive answers would be the company accountants, directors, and eventually PWC.

Was told yestarday that alba gla staff are working, but not getting paid? they apparntly are not gettin paid for dec at all? may just be a rumour but thats what i was told
Louie - Yes-we all know very well the "impending reason" - to destroy the Christmas of many of the BA regular customers - me included -who from now on will never fly BA again.
Back on topic - GSM were great for the scottish travelling public and such a disgrace that they have gone the way they have....still never fear....BA offer lots of "feeders" into the den of Heathrow...but nothing else from Glasgow/Edinburgh.....
