very interesting to see such concern about the fate of a well thought of airline and it's employees!!! whilst most bits posted are quite interesting to read can't help think it appears there is emjoyment at raising anxieties and putting the moker on what is potentially profitable model good for the industry and pax. Yes it may need jiggling a little and there may be a need to look at a better corporate image etc......and focus on promoting the standards that are integral to the history of the company etc etc etc....but remember the 'quality circles' of the 1980's anyone at 'The Hall' perhaps a revamped version would instill more loyalty and lead to profitability - it worked before it would be a shame to see the Ryan model creep in too far!
