I watched this thread from a distance and can therefore offer an abstract view on the nature of it and the obvious trends.
Firstly your inputs and your willingness to take to task, the clearly un-informed is boardering on the obsessional. Or is it, maybe there is a more sinister motive for the negative pictures you so eagerly paint of NOW?
I note that 12800 people have viewed this topic and 160 people have replied (alot of it somewhat inane). That's not too bad an audience if your objective is the elimination of what might be considered to be a business threat.
Low cost is a high risk sector of the market and casualties have already been taken, Buzz, Go. A sure way to survive in this sector is monopoly and paradoxically this is anathema as far as the ethos of low cost travel is concerned. EZY and Ryan have all been dusting off their cheque books in order to create one, will it all end in tears, MYT lite, Baby??? Ummm.
Now as for your good self, and irrespective of your motives, be very careful in what you publish regarding the senior management of Now. Accusing them of being criminally naive and of committing business suicide may be construed as being libellous. Don't tread into the bad lands of the litigeous or you may be joing the rest of us Big Issue sellers , resting between jobs.
I guarantee that the various "Interim " executives were getting paid up front, and all have other things they do anyway.
How can you possibly make such a statement
Would you kindly furnish us with the evidence to support such a claim. As you are clearly very well informed as to the start up affairs of Now, will you please publish their business plan, cash flow analysis projections, bank guarantees, investment strategy, investor names and financial gearing.
We'd all like to see this in order to convince us that you have been right all along.
Many thanks
