I am not going to even comment on PW being involved in Viking as it is irrelevant, fact is Viking has been around for many years and successfully trading, therefore it is not a new set up replacing XL!

The point I am making is that the senior team at XL (inc Phil) worked night and day to get the business refinaced, yes this failed and EVERYBODY is gutted !! XL had an excellent team on the ground and in the air. The business had been turned around and although it would have lost a small amount of money this FY it was nothing considering the fuel bill had gone up by circa usd90m - it was the debt that killed it from the MBO...

I understand the anger, I feel the same but these personnal attacks are not justified .... really not sure why you are so vocal you have not lost your job!

PS - you are not as close to this as you think...
