Highly relevant I would have thought. Major airline company goes into administration, new venture launched within days, same routes, etc.etc. Are you serious that in today's economic climate this wouldn't attract attention.

I find the interview with PM Strange considering its a 'New' start up company. He seems to spend more time explaining away associations and making denials, rather than telling the world what a great company this new venture will be, or at least that's what most new companies would do, don't you think.

How can you deny that this is a new venture when PM says it is?

Every journo in town must be watching this one, and I suspect the regulators are as well, quite rightly so.
