Outsourcing is the key-word. While it helps a lot to have big brother or big mama (delete as appropriate) lending a hand while learning the way to the creche, a child has to learn to walk on it's own.
With the changes to come during the "nationalization" of 8J most politics have to be nationalized as well. And this may be supported heavily by the infrastructure change in the country. There is much more room for charter flights from other than CMN bases, as 8J has already discovered, and the LoCo market has one player less in the field now, there are no BMM flights anymore at all.
If Zaventem cannot decide about politics, and this of course based on commercial issues, they would not be interested in this green outfit at all. The direction this airline will move is exclusively based on the interests of the new partner, which by law will have to take a crumble more of the cake than Zaventem.
Soldiers are in place to enforce the HQ directives, but soldiers can easily be replaced as the past has shown; it all depends on muscle flexing during the next months or so.
However, due to the 8A / RAM integration and associated changes, there is and will be a great opportunity for fast actors to collect the abandoned business from RAK and AGA, a few slices 8J has obviously already loaded on the plate. Does this imply that 8J is changing into what 8A was pre-25th October? Good luck, I think it was a smart move.
