Yes. Can't help thinking what comeback the management have about this. I see the latest update goes on about the reduced load factors(especially front end), and I'm sure it's totally true and it's going to hurt. However, barring any huge screwup in the fuel hedging department, the overall figures aren't going to be catastrophic.
Am I correct in assuming the facts and figures quoted by management these days are being compared to a record year (last year)? I would like to see some current figures put up against an 'average' year, if there is such a beast. Perhaps that might put things into perspective a bit more realistically.
