The answer is in front of your noses. Borgetti. He knows the company like he knows his own kitchen. Offer him the habour bridge, a block of units, any bloody thing to get him back. He will turn the company around very smartly. But first you need to shaft the board that dismissed him. A new board is required, one that contains both Pilot and Engineer representatives, a couple of outstanding retired ones are fine, (not me, I am committed to fishing) plus a bean counter and a expert in the travel and transport business, then you might get the company back onto straight and level. Dreaming I know, but then anything is possible.
