Enough is enough... close it down.

a classic example why a government should never be trusted rynning an enterprise....the day the roc rids itself of this entity is the day it starts making money...

Do we need to remind you of all the shit you threw at us about CTA closing down, what goes around comes around.

Someone tell VP, who's having trouble understanding, practically everyone in the Free Area, other than CY Air staff, is pissed off with this inefficient, poor service, over-staffed, over-paid, waste of public money airline.

Sorry if people's pragmatism and realism disappoints you VP... but it's over for CY Air without very major changes and most people understand that unless it changes in a BIG, BIG way, it will have to go.

Cyprus Airways should close the muck down already.

Rubbish, instead of wasting money on the TCs for pensions, free medicals etc they should keep the national carrier going. Shame to close such a fantastic airline by wasting money elsewhere.
It carries the name CYPRUS worldwide!

CY is in only trouble because it uses RR engines. I blame the British Ted Heath Government of the 1970s for rescuing Rolls Royce.

I think the difference is

a. TCs wanted to keep CTA ''alive and running''

b. Most GCs realise that although CA provides a good service ..it is in fact a money pit that needs either totally restructuring under private ownership or shutting down because of the cost to the ROC

just my opinion

Good evening all
