It's certainly true that Swissair planes are 'full' again because they slashed their ticket prices. But all airlines can fly and fill their planes with money from citizens. But Crossair (the future unique swiss airline) will not be able to make low fares with a high cost struture. It is simply an anti-business rule !
The truth is that the last poll shows that a majority (53%) of swiss people didn't agree with the government aid to Swissair.
End of March there will be only one airline : Crossair. This airline work force will count a large number of ex-Swissair employees. It will create big culutral and organisational changes. Perhaps impossible to override it ! I think that new Crossair is making a big mistake because it underestimates that problem.
The way to a viable Crossair is very long and I personally think that Crossair or whatever the future name of the airline, will disappear in 2 or 3 years.
