I think John Swire is a Hong Kong based trading group who's biggest asset is Cathy Pacific...I understand the group, as opposed to the airline, is controlled by the Swire family though..

FlyBe - Mr Jack Walker would be proud I think....

I'm sorry but I have to tip my hat to MOL on that one. To behave like he does, to make that much money - must just be the most incredible fun.

Having quarter of a billion in the bank and to be in press conferences in jeans mouthing off at EU bureaucrats must be a hell of a way to pass the working day.

[surely not]

Was Paul Stoddart (EAAC and Minardi) in the list??

[JB007]

I did look for Paul Stoddart and Roy Thomas (owner of Air Wales), both are not included on the list. The lowest amount seems to be about the £35m mark...

Damn, just missed it again.......

[Young Paul]

According to the adverts on the radio, you needed £40M to be on the list.
