Trafalgar,
All he did was writting a letter because more than 700000 passagers were impacted... and because all the media destroyed Ryanair which relies on customer's vision far more than flag carrier. It's nothing linked with the fact he respects anyone, he's doing it for him to save the airline, facing the wall. And it would be exactly the same in Cx if it had to cancel thousands of flights...
and it's just a letter.. just the way Cx promised many things in the past and gave nothing.. but you seem to trust more MOL which is, my 2 cents, a bad move.
