I like to suggest that MoL will NOT be retiring any time soon. He may be wealthy but is clearly driven by other things.
He will leave the company one of two ways:
- Profits will fall and enough people speak up that he will be ousted in a boardroom Coup. he will then go off into the darkness screaming abuse and saying he is going to start another airline. But he won't.
- He will die in harness.
Further, he is not 'an entertainer' as suggested. He is one of the most fantastic businessmen you will see in your lifetime. Anything that is perceived as 'entertainment' is him entertaining himself by throwing sprats to the fish and watching them jump.
I admire him highly and try not to use his airline.
