part-owned by HIE and Scottish Enterprise
Now that I didn't know. So this is already (before the "refinancing package") another taxpayer bail-out while billing itself just like RBS and all the rest as being a cutting edge entrepreneurial company.
Why not just go the whole hog and nationalise it? You could call it, let me see, British European Airways? Maybe they could pick up a few Viscounts for old times sake.
If Air Charter Scotland's involved, look out for pilots being expected to work for no pay.
