That 750 million "cash injection" makes it sound very dramatic, but I wonder what makes up those 750 million. Does it include things like aircraft financing? Does it include the financing of (expensive!) 777F's that QR wants us to fly? Financing all the crew (re)training?

Like with any normal business plan, when you have costs/financing (read: cash injection) on one side, you also have income/revenue on the other side.

For the sake of scaremongering, this income/revenue side of the equation is completely left out of the press releases in order to make it sound as if someone (a nice Samaritan from the Middle East) has to dump 750 million into a black hole for the sake of charity. Well it's not, there's also a revenue/profit side to the equation!

A lot of hot air about nothing...

Very interesting, but why start ANOTHER thread about CV
Exactly! Why start another thread?!

Mods, could you please integrate this thread into the "Cargolux details requested" thread in order to improve the readability?
