my comments are not relates to the staff at AO. its purely a reflection what GD keeps saying about return on asset, contributing to the qf group. in reality AO cant keep on flying on the margins it produces. nothing against AO staff. thats straight from the chief bean counter (thats one PG). every qf group has to be profitable. as i said previously you guys need new aircrafts and so on. at current levels you cant return a satisfactory profit. my idea would be put AO back under the qf label still doing what you are doing. then you may get more routes where they want to cut lh out. qf just came in second at the anual skytrax (airlinequality.com) awards behind cathay. not a bad contribution from a bunch of old short and longhaulers.
