You missed my point , the first thing i mentioned was that i am hugely impressed by the way JF has kept the company alive for the past 2 years .
Re the balance sheet , net profits are not shown on a balance sheet , i was refering to the sale value of the company which i believe is the stated intention of the owners .
All the Q400 v 146 arguments are missing the point , these days its all about cost per revenue seat km and the real chalenge for everyone in the short haul market in Europe is competing in cost terms with Mr O Leary and EZY.
Are airline trickets not just a commodity now ? especially short duration sectors of c. 1 Hour . If you are flying GLA - BHD or BFS , all you are interested in is availability and price at the time you wish to travel . I politely suggest that the average customer neither knows nor cares wether its a Q400 ,ATP , 146 , Airbus or whatever ; so long as it arrives and departs on time and doesnt crash in the middle.
