Dear Professor,

With respect to your view:

'legacy carriers in western countries with high labour costs will simply either slash operating costs in order to survive or go out of business'

I respectfully refer you to Ginger's comment:

'the continuing obsession with tightening conditions, costs and remuneration (could be replaced )with a new strategy to reduce aircraft leasing costs by 40%.

Have personally read the engineering analysis provided to a number of legacy airlines and understand that just about all airlines acknowledge that the strategy can reduce aircraft leasing costs by 40%, but would require a collaborate and cooperative approach to overcome constraints contained in:

· Competition legislation
· ICAO bilateral agreements
· Maintenance and operational regulations mandated by Sovereign Aviation Regulators responsible for issuing International Air Operator Certificates

And unless

'the continuing obsession with tightening conditions, costs and remuneration'

Ceases!

Any such cooperation isn’t realistically achievable and regretfully thus far, there is scant evidence that senior airline management comprehend what is necessary.

Regards
