Pretty much spot on.
Time and again he is the first out with calling the trends. Other airlines are slightly more conservative in their statements but I have heard WW from IAG and bosses of LH / AF and Easyjet concur in the past, well after the event that what MOL said was spot on.
It is not surprising that all the airlines bosses only speak together on rare occassions, there are legal reasons behind that. But the message is as much for heads of other airlines as it is for the public.
Whether people like it or not is completely and utterly irrelevant. Acting before you need to is way better than acting when you are forced to.
People complain about the Pilot shortage, forgetting that at the time MOL and Ryanair held their hands up and said we screwed up.
