Some will wonder why I typed this post and it for one and only one reason.......
Wow - Mad Bob you must have had some time on your hands to type that lot. Mike Kruger and Wally Massimiani started the company when times were good for DC8F's and they didn't like the way Affretair was being "ethinicised" so thought they could do better. Wally realised early on that wasn't going to happen and bailed out.
It never was run democratically and no doubt is not today, however I still question how a bunch of guys can negotiate their way out of administration in the UK and then carry on in exactly the same way. I sincerely hope the CAA and their colleagues in the corridors of power in Westminster are keeping a close eye on developments.
As to the suggestion of an MK/Avient merger, the thought of Messrs Kruger and Smith (and Mad Bob?) sitting round the same boardroom table is somewhat unlikely, to say the least.
