Crisis …. What Crisis?
SEVERAL Things strike me the time anyone talks about ‘the crisis’ or ‘Crisis’:
Things SEEM to be going there to all intents and purposes pretty ‘normally’ Outside the office window
The irresistible urge to say ‘Crisis? What crisis? ” After the title of a famous 1975 Supertramp album (Not that I Can Remember Anything about the album, Bar Hodgson’s squeaky voice and His Rather sneakily simple piano melodies That Go round and round in your head whether you like it or not).
With Remarkable prescience, Captain Edmund Blackadder (with no little help from Messrs.. Rowan Atkinson, Ben Elton and Richard Curtis) got it about right in 1915 in The Trenches When He could elegantly That It Most: “This is a crisis, largely Crisis .

Requires a broad and has wide crisis plan. Get me a ruler, pencils and a Two pair of underpants. ” Blackadder Goes Forth. Final Episode: ‘Goodbyeeee’. (1989)
The Tourism Industry IS worried. There Are Already Rumours of large airline collapses and suggestions and projections of $ 9bn Loss For The Airline Industry worldwide this year (I Personally Think That Will Be PROVE year to under-estimate).

Ryanair’s main competitor, easyJet posted a 6 month loss of £ 129.8m in April Some cette année. If The Fastest-Growing, Most Popular and lowest-cost operators are performing at this level …. What Are We Likely to see of the Other?
