Don`t know how much the stocks are trading for at the moment, but before the figures came out last Wednesday they were around NOK4,oo. Last year, at the same time, they were NOK40+ -ish. Maybe the noggie government could buy the other shares, but should they? And then, who would be most fit to turn the old lady around and finally make a profit? Surely not a government who has absolutely no know-how of how an airline is run

.
jager, maybe if the company was sold at the same price as they sold Spanair?

But I agree with you; they are known for doing things "their" way, which doesn`t always mean it is the most correct way. And yes, hopefully (fingers crossed and knocking on a lot of wood) they have a master plan for a longterm profit.
