More airline rant

plonqAfter screwing us over once, it seems that Jetsgo is looking to increase the screwage. The former owner is making noises about bringing the airline out of bankruptcy. His brilliant plan is to sell off a few of the jets to pay his creditors, then to bring the airline back online again as a viable carrier.
I don't know the details of his business plan, but it must include a crack pipe if he thinks that people are going to flock back to his airline after the stunt he pulled on both his staff and his customers. Then again, I'm living evidence that people are dumb enough to jump on any bargain, so you never know.
Anyway, how exactly does this screw us?
According to his tentative business plan, he would resume flights on June 25th. He doesn't say if his bold new plan would involve honouring previously-sold tickets, but for the moment we will assume that it does.
Our flight was booked for June 30th. Do the math. We can't afford to wait until the 25th to rebook ourselves on another airline on the off-chance that he might go back into business and decide to honour our tickets, but if he DOES come back online on that date, and DOES offer to honour the tickets then we are no longer eligible to be reimbursed by the credit card company.
I think the best resolution to this whole situation would be if he choked to death on his own bile or something - but I'm not holding my breath.
