Ranil could be a lot of things (including, but not limited to 'invertebrate' as some people call him), but he is most certainly not an idiot.
Irrespective of the politics, he has made some smart moves since coming to power and that should be applauded.
An awful lot more that needs to be done though.Comment

Something has to give as the government is reportedly almost bankrupt, the aircrafts were leased above market rates and the routes were loss making. 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).
Nevertheless I wouldn't be surprised to see these aircraft back under a new owner at UL.Last edited by lordvader; 07-08-2016, 03:19 AM.Comment

As much as it pains me you are correct about sub-leasing the aircraft to deal with the above market rate leases. 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.Comment

What people need to understand is that the Politicians are all involved in Racketeering.
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 businessComment

The chances of MS and RW being re-elected are getting the slimmer by the day. The people who voted for MR on Jan 8 still mostly support him. A good number of people who voted for MS on Jan 8th and RW on Aug 17th...... not so much.
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 description
