      My thoughts exactly!

      UL has zero economic value.

      If I understand correctly GOSL wants to keep control whilst outsourcing the Management. Who is going to accept this?

      There is no way to ever make this profitable - why would anyone continue to pour in money to keep things running?

      The sooner UL is shut down the better for the people of Sri Lanka imho.

      The Theft/Fraud/Corruption/Incompetence and Racketeering needs to end!
      Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

        yeah so what? Look, the current UL management spokesman is here. But still SO WHAT, he can't understand logic. How can you be profitable by cutting down profitable routes with 90%+ demand on each flight (do you have an idea how well routes like CGK, LHE, DAC and BAH are performing?). Still so what ? you might not understand plain english

Corruption from the previous regime and lack of backbone from the current one will continue to sink this airline.

          On another front Cramer and his little band of rebels continue to give management the finger:



          Only in Sri Lanka would idiots like this not be terminated immediately. I'm just happy that some FAs are atleast trying to kick these fools out.
          Hey SO WHAT? it's all to make UL PROFITABLE......right???

                  Like i said before, some retards don't have any idea about the demand on those routes (always 90-95% full) and they have a hard time staying on topic

                    Right when UL seems to be on track to find a partner, some people want UL to shut down. Brain damage is too damn high

                      They may have lost the election but they didn't lose the management. Why do you think that Ranil's lackeys haven't gotten anything done. Because MR's fanboys are still alive and well within UL. The only time they seem to work together is when they continue abusing benefits and hoarding from the airline.

                      If you actually worked for the airline you'd see there has been no change.

                        Lol. So they say It was actually funny last year after the elections, to see alot of people who's only qualification was having their name on a politician's list, do their work. Heads bowed mouths shut. Now they are back to going around like they own place. The only change that has been made in this department is their numbers have actually grown. I'm sure it's all part of the governments plan to stop the bleeding as Speedbird keeps saying

                              The flights may be full but they may not neccessarily be profitable if yields are low. That said UL needs to find a way to deal with this - for example, starting a subsidiary with lower costs to operate the flights on behalf of UL. Of course this thinking would require someone with aviation managerial experience and a backbone to be running the company like the CEO EK installed.

                                Spot on ! UL needs the management with Aviation managerial experience. Especially when the airline is severely bleeding loss, having wrong people in the management would make things only worse.

                                If SL Gov is really want to make UL to be profitable they need to appoint experienced management in aviation and have to get rid of cronies/thieves from the airline.
