Talking :-)

I'm sure Zoom will let us know if it starts to look dodgey. At the moment it appears Delta have jumped straight in an want to block Zoom UK's application to fly to the US. They are correct that the owners of Zoom are indeed Canadian and have helped fund Zoom U.K. However Hugh Boyle also has British Nationality which he has had since birth. Zoom UK is starting up with new A/C and crew and is a sister airline. If Zoom wanted to just start breaking any agreements they could have just opened a London base. As with any start up or new route start up there will be objection. Also to add the Royal Bank of Scotland actually suggested the Zoom UK start up to Zoom, not the other way around. I could be wrong but I doubt one of the largest banks in the UK would want to start investing 10 million with out first having an insight.
This said... we will just have to wait an see!
I'm still excited
