Dear Guv,
Precisely, if possible, why would a country such as Switzerland have an airline the like and size of Swissair in the first place?
Has it got something to do with history?
Population?
Size of Empire?
National pride??
Large collections of Swiss nationals abroad requiring their transport to the homeland on an annual or regular sabbatical?
I've missed the point here, other than to conceed, most, if not all pilots, don't know or understand the first thing about economics, business practices and the running of a 'successful' modern day airline.
As tragic as it is that many of our colleagues will soon walk the street...
I fear many...globally, will soon join them.
If I were at Swissair, I'd be jolly well delighted Crossair had the testicles to even suggest salvaging part of my airline. Wouldn't you?
There but for the grace of gawd...
