I have absolutely no understanding of the comparable costs of operating E195/A320 a/c. Nor do I have any knowledge of how good/bad the current BEE management is.
I have no comment to make on either point. In fact, I can totally understand your comments about the present management & their operating decisions.
My point is that you could say, about ANY management, that they would not take operating & commercial decisions which would threaten the company's existence. Not the present, & not the past, managements of BEE. Rationally speaking, why would any management take decisions which hurt the company ?
And yet, they do !
You seem to have great faith in the present management. I hope that it is well founded; & I have no reason to dispute that it is not; or to suggest that the current lot HAVE made mistakes comparable to the last lot.
But, from my lowly position, I am not greatly impressed by what appears to be happening at BEE. I repeat, what management would take actions which threaten the wellbeing of any company ? &, I say again, regrettably many do ! I sincerely hope that we will not look back on another "botch up" in a few months time.
