It's too bad that one of the reasonable voices of this board decided to withdraw. My suspision is that he is done with masochism. And yet, exactly where was he wrong? The PPS has been around the present levels for the last 8 years while the choir of this board was singing the praises of both products as well as the acumen of the management. All these law suits should have been served long time ago. I can spend plenty of ink and use plenty of space to talk about all these.

I too celebrate the the prospects for the new orders. But when it come down to it, Seychelles airlines has 10 planes of which 3 are for short hauls and Lot Polish has 59 planes of which 37 are for short hauls. Not unlike him, I too want to know the magnitude of the order and impact these orders will have on the buttom line.

This thread is more a form of socializing and less an forum of exchanging information since the company sees to it that we have none. The majority spends time and space to see their rating improved. In the process and in view of lack of authoritative information, it also engages in speculation some of which is really wild and for that matter misleading and often times wrong.

Would all those who have contributed to the wildly raised expectations apologize if and when these expectations are frustrated? Or, in the alternative, they will suggest that the results were DM's making and the management did not participate in the outcome.

I want and wish the company is successful for the sake of all of us. But attacking the messengers who point out the incompetence of the management, although it might be seen as a victory by some, reduces the quality and level of discource for the rest of us.
