Likely a misunderstanding in the translation somewhere. I have every sympathy with all who lost their livelihood in TC's collapse and suspect that the reference to lack of pay for the crew was about the weeks they had already worked in that month for TC and won't be getting paid for. The subject repatriation flight I expect the crew will have been paid for but that payment probably won't have come anywhere near to compensating them for the shortfall they faced at the end of the month - and indeed beyond in the absence of quickly finding new positions.
