Hi N380UA,
That's some pretty good commenting, actually some of the best on this thread. Nice to see that you dot the t's and cross the I's.
Thanks.
And your perfectly correct on the politics and that this could only have happened in Switzerland.
"Only" I am not too sure, but Swiss mentality is certainly a good breeding ground for such stuff. Drives me crazy.
All the whining – we were Swissair – we were Crossair, industrial actions, and all the would haves, could haves and should haves are as good as altitude above, runways behind and unusable fuel!
Full agreement here, however, I don't think it should be forgotten. Rather serve as an example on how not to do it and beware of repetitions.
Goes for the remainder of Swiss aviation politics as well. After all, the Swissair/Crossair saga is not the only thing that went seriously amiss recently.
Best regards
