I think you're right. The question of consultation process and Protective Claims is an issue for all employees at TCX and other liquidations. There's also a point here around those retained.
What, in your experience would lead a liquidator to retain a significant number of employees; 9,000 redundant and 3,000 kept on is 25% and seems a lot. I read somewhere that TCX cabin crew were being used on repatriation flights. Some of these use machines TCX had chartered for summer and operated in its own livery with pilots from the aircraft's Baltic state of registry but TCX cabin crew. Now seem to be operated by Titan Airways who have presumably taken over the charters from TCX and will be paid by HMG/ATOL.
