I haven't been in Rome much since Feb/March, but back then on the Rome to Catania and Palermo sectors they were packing them in on every sector. The travelling public just couldn't seem to get enough NJI.
Then there was a float, raising millions (not to mention the millions that Aerospace may have offered them to get started with the 146's. Remember Eurodirect?)
When and how did it manage to go so wrong?
Was there some skulduggery somewhere?
