PJ, you can't talk any sense into someone whose heart and ego is set on being a "big" airplane driver. Economics, business sense and common sense be damned. Some would rather run it(GF) into the ground before anyone, least of which a foreignor or outsider, show them what it takes to run an Airline.
From what I gather, we're going to be receiving some GF flyers join us soon over here. Good, welcome.
