hear hear, TRADER. for once, i agree with you whole heartedly. the regional airlines however, will not take heed of such wisdom for many many cultural, and pride reasons.
when airlines like etihad think they can simply start and rapidly expand an airline because they have the money, it's a sure sign of stupidity and worse, when the human element had not been factored in...and that is what's happening.
just sit back and watch the houses of cards fall.
