In reply to the last two posts; I am simply expressing my opinion. I am certainly not describing the MD as a financial wizard (just that he could be for all I know. On second thoughts, I hope he is; for BEE's sake - genuinely !)
I acknowledge that hard decisions had to be, & were , made. I also acknowledge that the airline then made a recovery. Of which, I am glad. I do not bear the airline , its management, or the staff any ill will. Quite the contrary.
I do not want to make light of employees losing their jobs, either. Someone quite near me was in that boat !
I am simply pointing out the apparent contradictions which the management who made the hard choices are now displaying with several of their latest ideas.
I REALLY do hope that everything works out well for them. But, to my way of thinking, there's a lot of wishful thinking going on here !
