I would be cautious of the "120%" of each seat sold figure. It seems unlikely that is factual, or at best a very selective use of facts. It would not be beyond our management to have stories 'planted' in the press to justify their future plans. Having been here as long as I have, nothing surprises me anymore. Fact: Since the early 90's CX management have been claiming the sky is falling. Every Friday, every annual report, every utterance.....for going on 30 years now. Other than a couple of years, profit every single time. I suspect most of what you are hearing is utter rubbish, and the only loss is due to the grossly incompetent fuel hedging. Still haven't heard the names of those responsible, or which third tier carrier in the Congo they are now working for..
