Really, he left out the entire "Asian appendage"!
Listen, the employees could work for FREE for six months, do know where that money will go? Not into the international business, not into domestic but to the Asian Franchies.
What, in effect Vorsicht is advocating is a direct wealth transfer from the employees to those Asian businesses, and their beneficiaries. That's right, the money will be taken out of the employees pocket and into the likes of Denis Choo, Stanely Ho, not to mention the Vietnamese & Japanese crony capitalists. We haven't even mentioned the leasing arrangements for the 110 aircraft (or up to 400 eventually by 2020), and who might be behind that.
By Vorsicht is absolutely correct in one sense, the money has gone, looted, and cannot come back. That is why it is crony capitalism, those that make the f#ckup don't pay the price, someone else does.
