Read Fueled by Belief
Cityjet are holding their own. Remember when it was Pay Byrne and the gang. They did their best to keep it all together!
With any luck RE will find a strong partner and the entrepreneurial spirit which is RE will continue.
Shamrogue - this book was a great read. When AF took over Cityjet the airline almost instantly became operationally profitable by removing the head office and integrating WX with AF systems.
The same would be the case for RE being integrated into a bigger carrier, eg Aer Lingus most of the admin and management can pass to EI and elimate alot of cost.
Another point that was especially interesting from this book, was the Franchise Fee that Cityjet had to pay Virgin Atlantic on exit. I wonder is such a fee in the deal with EI?
