I stand by my words. AEU were, seemingly, reliant on more than the basic business model of operating aircraft to survive.
Blame whoever you like, me included, but I am still not shedding tears for the passing of AEU - and like others have said, a lot of others aren't that bothered either.
My definition of a "low end airline" is one who deliberately sets out to bust unions in other airlines and recruits people in order to do so. Then, when the plan is rumbled, they then make those employed for that particular purpose redundant. Nice. Anyone remember that episode?
Nah, thought not.
