National Carrier For Sale - make us an offer!
When are we going to realize that total private ownership and globalization policies inevitably destroy so called "national carriers". The only thing guaranteed in the airline business is volatility. Without the security of government backing, airline management always look for the easiest option when cost cutting - the labour force. The seeds of destruction were planted in 1993 with the push for full privatization of the 2 national airlines. A total re-shape and offshore solution is the only way this can end, however if the process had been properly mapped, communicated, and implemented to the staff and public since 1993 we may have seen a much better outcome.
