how long do i have to be here untill i get a thread of my very own? :lol:
thats one helluva a rant mr quiet man. i am also concerned about the things you are concerned about but we cant cover all of that in one thread hey?
ok first i didnt start this thread as a sympathy thread i was asking if anyone had been affected by it. i was interested in all aspects of how people could be affected not just those stranded abroad.
affluent upper middle classes who dont deserve our sympathy for being stuck cos they got credit cards. ok. lets take the 3 guys my hubby has stuck in other parts of the world. the guy stuck in dubai is with his wife and 3 kids it is their first ever holiday abroad and they have scrimped and saved for it. they went over the easter break cos it was cheaper than going in the summer holidays. he is stressed out cos he cant afford the hotels and extra food and drink but he has to look after his kids but his insurance havent decided if they will pay out or not. the holiday reps have disappeared and his holiday of a lifetime is a holiday in hell. the guy stuck in cairo took his annual leave time to go and do some charity work and cairo was where they sent him. not affluent, not living it up but heaven forbid he is a do gooder. the guy stuck in india went home for his mothers funeral. he is lucky in he can stay with family but unlucky cos he arranged the flight himself and is being told it will be around 2 weeks before he can get a flight out unless he goes first class which he cant afford.
ordinary people not affluent people who are affected.

hubby has been told to tell his stranded staff to ring in every day with an update and to ask if they will be taking time they are stranded out of annual leave or unpaid. like they need something else to worry about. caring employers :roll:
