Such decisions may not be popular but sometimes tough decisions need to be made. Unless your willing to fund UL to continue loss making routes, we all have to make a sacrifice. That said the government if they were serious could've turned this ship around by installing experienced foreign management last year (like what Malaysia did at MH).

But the reason people are angry is because the previous government and the henchmen who made these deals are still out and about enjoying their lives, spending money they embezzled from these deals. If they were behind bars, making sacrifices would be a whole lot easier. But so far the people have suffered (and I'm not talking only about aviation here) while the crooks openly laugh at the governments face. That is why A330LOVE is correct in saying that Ranil is an idiot.

There may well be Politicians who are not actively involved - but they know what is going on and choose to not act. That's the best case scenario!
When was the last time a Politician was convicted in Sri Lanka? I've heard it was in the 1950'sAlways fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

Half the parliament hates their guts anyway, so same scenario there. He has nothing to lose by locking up the cronies (starting preferably with Nishantha Wickramasinghe)
Btw last time I checked securing another term in office is not in his job descriptionLast edited by TheF15Ace; 07-08-2016, 08:04 AM.
