It may seem so Robert V, but consider...

Swiss Air, an extreamly well run/respected company for many years, with top-notch pilots and operating procedures, is run down the drain by inept management in buying into the Sabena bottomless pit.

Then, we have CrossAir, clearly another rather well run company, combined with the what remain(s) of Swiss Air, to form a company without proper direction...or, as it turns out, management.

Two pilot groups, each experienced in their own day-to-day operations, thrown together helter-skelter...and the CrossAir guys wanting big aeroplane upgrades (even tho most wouldn't know what to do with a heavy jet if it bit 'em)...and the ex-Swiss Air guys, tromping all over the CrossAir guys, trying to steal their jobs.

Is it any wonder accurate maps get lost in the shuffle?

A public relations nightmare for all concerned, that's for sure.

Edit for additional comment,

The good Kaptin M should know all about 'public activities' as it was there for all to see...in OZ, 14 years ago.
