Just the ticket for future of EADS/Airbus


Following is a letter sent to the Editor of the Financial Times:
John Walkley believes that the EADS/Airbus disaster can be resolved by having a Swiss owner ("Just the ticket for future of EADS/Airbus" Financial Times, February 24/25, 2007).

Is he talking about those Swiss that run the train system where, in my experience, they have never failed, even when connections are a few minutes apart.

Or is he talking about those Swiss that belive that you just need to change the name of Swisair to Swiss and, doing nothing else, will end us with a successful and profitable airline.

From Mr John Walkley.

Sir, Perhaps a Swiss owner is what EADS/Airbus needs. Culture and language problems would be a thing of the past, no state-owned airline, no significant threat of major defence orders being cancelled and, what's more, it's handy for the World Trade Organisation offices in Geneva.
