Enthusiasm vs Reality
1.I don't characterize myself as an expert but I am an informed observer.My brother in law(Japanese travel agent) is
2.I wish AO every success.Some individuals who post here however seem to have been dazzled by spin.
3.The reality is AO is struggling for Brand Recognition and financially.
4.Airlines are transport ..pure and simple.The rest is gloss.This applies particularly to LCCs of which AO is one.
5.AO management needs to find some direction instead of the ad hoc approach it is currently using.
6.High end travellers(where the yield is) will always be reluctant to use an LCC.
7.AOs cultural awareness is no greater than QF mainline.On any QF mainline flight there are at 5 Japanese speakers.A number of whom are native speakers
Good luck guys,I hope your management eventually gets it right
BTW.."stickers" on Japanese trains ...I don't think so.
Fukuoka is where AO is pulling out.Obviously the "stickers" didn't work
