There are several clear risks associated with the business plan linked to above your post, and the area you highlight is definately one of them. I agree with you completely that there is a clear cultural discordancy between what was Swissair and what is Crossair, but this is being worked on at many levels. There is an enormous amount of goodwill at Crossair which can easily accomodate our Ex-Swissair colleagues. The joint focus should be on the successfull development of the new Swiss Airline venture, whether it be called Crossair or something else entirely. This can ONLY be achieved if we ALL work together, ingoring past animosities and looking to the future together.

Combined, we'll be unbeatable.
