PAXboy,
Your message is much more appreciated after my second (double) espresso. It seems that the notion of a state airline to carry the flag across the globe has fallen from favour.
canberra97, impressive list. Thank you.
FRatSTN do you have to propose something else? I don't see the difference and I would welcome to be informed.
Many thanks for all who took time to answer. Please feel free to keep answering.
