MOL Strikes back
MOl was on one of the Irish chat shows last night. And was almost mellow by all standards. The usual ryanair is the savour of the world commentary.
However, it is clear, EI need either another WW at the helm or go ahead with the FR takeover. If you are going to be a niche operator, you need to be good at your niche and EI Are not. in recent years the product has become tired, on transatlantic/NYC routes Continental are beating them senseless. Delta won't take long to improve their offering which is on par with EI. With the potential BA.IB.QF.AA tie up you have another super large airline matched by KLM.AF and LH/BD/Austrian.
In a strange way, perhaps MOL has become a bit more seasoned and maybe it is time he lead the charge on EI and maybe they are the management team to lead the airline foward. The sad part about all of this is the consumer will suffer.
Slan,
