Good post Vorsicht and I agree. If no pilot turned up then no one would notice. The usual middle management will turn up and shout "Hooray!!" just as they always do, not knowing that the big cats get a much greater bonus.
I predict that the mood will be lower than last year and that oil prices will be the excuse for the lower profits, but then don't DNATA sell fuel at the airport and so don't we get the profit as well?
