Hmmm,
Lets et the record straight - please. He started with 2 yes was given airline for free. Got X amount more after 911 at rock bottom prices. Got given with zero competition domestic routes. Went up against a typical soft target of government run airline with 1000'sssss of staff and no real management. Sounds familiar ha........
Good news - he is great maketing and sales guy. Brought in right white guys with real expertise. Made fast smart moves a
nd did not care about a real detailed business plan... Buy planes and make the market happen.
Bottom line is asia still grows at a huge margin. But many good players out there and if you do not continue to grow you die................
For all pilots and crew good news - and for all pax's even better as rates will slide lower......................
happy flying - not gospel just my two cents...............
