Just another casualty to the credit crunch and the recession, like Sun4you and now the latest firm to go bust Kiss Flights

I think the operator has been bought out by a consortium and the pilot's union. :think

I hope this serves as a warning to Unite that if you push to hard, it can cause firms to fold and leave all the workers without jobs. They would rather take a pay cut than lose their jobs im sure

Perhaps they would have done but according to the link provided by David that wasn't what was on offer - the new investors wanted to make ALL the cabin crew redundant and re-hire only 1 in 4 of them. Lord knows how they proposed to provide anything approaching like an acceptable service to passengers with those sort of reductions in staffing! I'm not sure that I would ever want to fly with an airline, and certainly not longhaul, that thought that it could manage with only 25% of the current cabin crew.

I don't know anything about trade unions in Mexico but in the UK the 'union' IS it's members and under UK law the days when union officers could get away with imposing strike action or non-acceptance of an offer from management upon its members without a proper ballot of all members are long gone.
