What really annoys me about the situation at the moment is not the idea that we are too nice to compete in the present climate but the inability of senior management to generate any extra business. For the past 5 years MME management have visited every airline exhibition and conference in the world and the feedback given is that these jollies were always that "we are discussing all options with many carriers". Push has now come to shove and these positive discussions with many carriers have disipated into thin air. Question...did they actually speak to anyone in the airline industry or was it a chat with stewardesses on the flights?
