RE: Rheinland.

Right chaps, I've got some bad news. Rheinland appears to have tanked its stock market by annoying Interspace Commerce. Something about some ill tempered Hessians, a Rheinlandic politician and a hunk of metal. All sounds rather sordid to me. In any case, their finances are going haywire as people panic buy and attempt to withdraw their savings, as the nervous are wont to do.

As the situation stands, it's not the sort of environment the Board wants us operating in. We'll be staying out until the market settles and finds a bit of stability. Hopefully our contract prices will return to normal levels at that point. It simply isn't as profitable as it was to work there now. Consequently, we'll be transferring the bulk of our Rheinland fleet to Liberty for the duration of the troubles.

Line managers can give further details as they are made available. Contact your supervisors for additional clarifications. HQ is suggesting employees invest in new routes aimed at our central allies, with a focus on minerals such as Beryllium and Niobium. Both are good sales out there. So, to clarify: flights to Rheinland are temporarily suspended, save with a manager's explicit permission.

Peterson.
