Add to this yesterday's announcement that travellers within Europe are to be compensated for delays or failures to reach their destinations and you have a really interesting future for European airlines....
I look forward (definitely NOT!) to a major weather delay involving a large raft of A380s when every pax affected gets his or her 350 Euros compensation, and I look forward to the Eurocrats explaining to their electors why their airfares suddenly went stratospheric.
But silly me, I forgot.... those same Eurocrats will simply enact legislation forbidding airlines from increasing their fares to cover such costs.
Talk about Alice in Wonderland.....
