Bloody hell...

I've been reading this thread and have been wondering "are you for real?"

Olympic are losing money head over heels.

Money could be saved by:

1/ Not having a full service, most of which gets wasted at the end of the flights and replace with a "pay" service
2/ Not being catered every 2nd flight
3/ Not having a full team of cleaners coming on and emptying the entire cabin and changing everything
4/ Not having a toilet dump vehicle coming out every time you return to ATH - I can't believe that Greek passengers visit the can more than anyone else!
5/ Stopping the A319/A320s flying flights with 20-30 passengers on.
6/ Utilising the A319/A320s a bit more - they were always doing nothing when I saw them!

I can think of more ideas of wasted money.

The A340s will not be going anywhere as the documentation was apparently burnt after the collapse of the old Olympic.

What doesn't matter is nationalities vs gashness vs which country does right vs attitudes vs goodness only knows what else.

The pure and simple fact is that at the moment, in its current guise, Olympic is unsustainable.
