"...If we had a crystal ball... I have confidence in what IAG will do... I for one don't foresee IAG going the way of RBS as you mention. IAG has huge scale now and as it grows so too does its efficiencies...."
Point taken.
My near worthless
RBS shares would not have caused me quite such grief!
And my many fewer
BA/
now IAG shares...?
The question at issue here in the short term is quite how disastrous might be the Vueling brand.
I decided on a non-scientific, but I would assert, far from useless investigation of the customer confidence in Vueling over against 2 mainstream competitors viz (i) easyJet and (ii) what my Los Angeles attorney has informed me I must for the sake of avoiding litigation call "the Low Class Airline"
I studied the last 11 evaluations for each airline as of
now on the
www.airlinequality.com website.
The results, out of 10:
Vueling: Mean average 3.09 Median 2 Mode 1
easyJet: Mean average 6.67 Median 9 Mode 9
"tLCA": Mean average 6.73 Median 9 Mode 10
Although it was I think Samuel Goldwyn Meyer who claimed that "there is no such thing as bad publicity" with figures like those, I for one would be sweating were I in WW's elegant brogues.
