This thread is getting silly.
This is not about "haters" or jealosy or pilot pay.

The facts a simple, Government ownership of an airline has been proven worldwide to be a fatally flawed business model.

In almost every case where a failing state airline has been privatised it has been turned around and made a profit.

Stop messing around and do the only sensible thing - privatise it and headhunt a CEO who has done it successfully before - Willy Walsh would be a good candidate.

There will be a few years of pain but it will be worthwhile, if you want a long term job as aircrew you need to work for a successful airline.
