New contracts, better contracts, more revenue, less expenses ...
CargoOne, I see some people are eternal optimists, type “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life... tedah, tedah etc..” Let us look at the "real side of life" of the MK flying circus. The annual financial reports over he last 5 years (also during the affluent period) are all showing losses, the only chance they had (in 2006), getting integrated in a bigger supply chain for the Tesco's of this world failed. Key factor in those days was: a personal fuel tank for cheaper fuel in Ostend! And now al of a sudden miracles will happen with load factors standing at??? ! The days of “the live of Brian” are long gone. Now one has to be big, performant, clever fuel hedgers at the office, flying recent and identical frames (style Ryanair), well capitalized, and full of fat... to survive. A layer of fresh paint as on my ceilings and a “yes we can” cry wont do the job. BTW why is MK leasing the LA with RR engines, completely out of line with the PW's?
And DODO why shouldn't one find a job over 55? Look at Barry, started training ground engineers at what age?
