Sterling Airlines Will not be sold

Todays news is apparently final.
Sterling will not be sold as a going concern. It's been a rollercoaster. Only yesterday night things were looking up and I thought I would be back in the office by Monday.

Despite the fact that there have been a few "finals" throughout the Sterling Airlines Soap Opera this should be the end of the matter... For my employment anyway. I just got an email that I will finally been released from the employment with them.

Mixed feelings on this, obviously I am sad for the staff. Sterling had a special spirit, a viking spirit and there are were some very talented people working there. However the bankruptcy and sale process has been so protracted I feel kind of relieved which is a stark contrast to 29OCT when I was very upset. (to be honest I cried).

Have a look at this list of airlines that have gone under in one way or another in 2008. I saw this a couple of weeks ago and made me feel a little less sad about our own bankruptcy. It's a tough marketplace.
