That is exactly what people said in the early 1970s when a "new" start-up international airline on a sleepy little island in south east asia placed the largest order in history for 747s. Do you think in hindsight that Singapore Airlines were not justified with their purchase ?
Do you think for a minute that HX may just have a business plan that you do not know about ?
