Cool

That's the problem, trying to get customers to move to a new outfit, unless you severly undercut everyone else (and then you'll be back to the old ways of loads of contracts and not making any money) how do you win the contracts? You need people in place to offer services, so what do you do employ 100's of people in the hope you'll win a few contracts, what happens if nobody wants to come their way, lay off again! And unless there is a big change in the management it'll just be the same as before but under a different banner. They'll find it very difficult if not impossible to get the likes of SIA, EK etc to move from BA (as stated they go with the national carrier) FCA, Monarch etc already have their own. The only thing I guess is with the muted Brittania maint always for sale is one of the few. Don't get me wrong, I wish them all the luck, but it's not going to be easy that's for sure!
