As for me I am taking a £1 million bet that some tinpot recruitment agency based in a backwater of West london will go t*ts up.

Or I quite fancy the £1000-1 odds on "airforce one" going in to chapter 11

As an aside to this - why didn't all of these "stranded" holiday makers have Travel Insurance? Or doesn't it pay out in the event of Airline collapse?

No need to ask Paddy.

AIG will be the next big failure.

Most(if not all) will get their money back. Its the organizing of flights that is diffficult.

I see the CAA organized some planes - why not use the XL ones? Or is that what the CAA did?

You can get 16-1 on the Snot Goblin not winning his seat at the next general election.



Can't get odd on there actually being an election though. I still think he will do something evil using the Civil Contingencies Act.

Am working at Manchester Airport at moment....saw a few lonely looking XL planes parked over by staff car park this morning.

Might make an offer...will reduce commute time substantially.
