Devil aeroplanes are not made of cement

cseK,

I totally agree with your definition of "down hill". (Almost) in the words of Shakespeare "Methinks he protests too much". A little background info for our friend Ryan, those who are good cement makers are not necessarily very good in the aviation business. If you remember FLS Aerospace was a fantastic cement company but were fantastically lousy managers in the aviation business. FLS Aerospace ended up being bankrupt at Stanstead & other establishments and were eventually bought by 3i company and finally SRT stanstead. After decades in the aviation business I have learned you must have a person who has been involved in the aviation business, otherwise my suggestion to the cement maker (whether Indian or Irish) is they should venture into brickmaking projects rather than airline management - especially low cost airlines. If you don't believe me, ask Stellios...
