seems history is very likely to repeat itself and as for saving mas, the airline is beyond saving as they've got their head in the sand far too long. years ago when the first batch of engineers left they reported that it was normal staff turnover then when more engineers left and later followed by the pilots they regarded those who left as traitors but the people who were in charge and bleeding the company dry apparently were the good guys.
instead of trying to find out why people left the management turned around and said the company was ok but the people who left were the problem. and then came vss. not a few made big bucks from that exercise and then were subsequently re-employed or re-engaged as consultants apparently their expertise was required or nobody else could do their jobs. and as usual not a single soul questioned why these guys were given vss in the first place, and so the charade continued.
so if tf were to take over and decided to become a savior or corporate raider and break mas into little pieces, it would be good either way. be it to get rid of all those who are destroying the company from within or give them a wakeup call or good riddance.
whether there is hope for mas is anybody's guess but the staff will prevail because good people shall overcome and shine thru, its the deadwood that will be left by the wayside
