For the CEO to have lost the plot it must be assumed the he had the plot in the first case! The ship's cat knows that a tiny enclave, with little tourist/commercial traffic, can only sustain a fleet of 2 or 3 A320s, if it wants to be anything like viable. Taking a decision which would ensure that is beyond anyone in Brunei though. Too many other factors come into play. Competing with the major carriers is just a non-starter, they will continue to lose money hand over fist whilst paying the crews buttons in some misguided attempt to make a profit. Bet that the AKL pax were delighted to start their marathon trip to LHR recently in an ancient 757!
