Yes you are correct on recent statements re return on invested capital qan holder but AJ's recent quote of losing 200 million I believe is a very selective piece of info released for effect and conditioning.

My point stands. If Int is so bad what the hell have they done about it? Nothing that has worked according to their numbers.
Why sink the 380 into it? The LAX and LHR routes are not businesses in isolation and dont require 20 or even 12 380s.
I trust them as far as I could drag a loaded 380 as evidenced by their statements regarding the ALAEA and pilot's claims.
If these people were straight with us just maybe they'd get somewhere in getting the changes they want. AJ had a perfect opportunity to capitalise on GDs sad record with staff relations but has been extremely disappointing. The unions exist and are stronger than ever because of them. They could make them irrelevant if they really wanted to try to take us with them.
