If you say so...

What do you mean by that pearl of wisdom, Mr Smith, not throwing the baby out with the bath water? We should separate our refuse nowadays: babies go in the bin, bathwater down the drain? Was that what my wife was shouting me for the other day?

Or is it that you are some optimist, always giving poor old Arik the benefit of the doubt? What do you put their miserable performance down to then, bad ju-ju? To me and probably a few others Arik looked like such an obvious scam from Day One. Okay, as long as the Big Men still had friends in high places then it was going to continue but as a normal airline? Where is the "good" they have done, if you please? Okay, some guys got some work out of this but long-term it looks like just another, sadly typical, Nigerian embarrassment, guys who couldn't run a whelk stall on the up-and-up starting an airline and one meant to be THE national airline at that!
