I also thougt it was typically slick and polished performance by MoL. He is a master of the art. He made a couple of blunders, I thought the main one was the stupid comment about 'flying slow'to save fuel is safer.
He is a slimebag of note, and I despise the way he does business, but it is hard to get the better of him in a debate and he does run one of the world's most successful and (statistically) safest airlines.
