Hmmm ... interesting. I would probably enjoy a long chat with you on the subject of African aviation. However, I am of the very firm opinion that state airline enterprise is essential, even in the so-called 'developed' nations.
Let me put a possible scenario to you. What if things were so bad in aviation that all the free enterprisers decided to pull out (such a scenario, though unlikely, is surely possible)? Do you think we should all make do with absolutely no air services as a result. I would argue for a world where state and free enterprise work alongside each other, if for no other reason than to each keep the other honest.
