IAG: Bucks Roll In!

Hey Juan. Walshie thinks he's Captain Kirk.

IAG's Chief Executive Willie Walsh told reporters he expected the group to deliver 'significant growth in operating profit this year' despite soaring fuel prices. "Firing three quarters of the pilots and crew give me such a testosterone buzz that frankly, if I could do without the trouble making leftovers and do ditto, I'd frolic starkers though LHR's Terminal 5".
Earlier this week IAG's European rivals Air France (AIRF.PA) and Lufthansa reported mediocre results mainly from not flying much and the inertia of their work-shy managements. "We are doing brill"! continued Willie. "I work my bollocks off and if some of the other drag-me-downs in my empire of the air would just follow the advise of Phillip the Greek, then the Luftwaffe and Fairy France would be just taxie and park outfits" said a breathless Walshie."Yes fuels bloody dear! Weren't you listening, press boy: there's not friggin' much we can do about fuel costs 'til that ineffective mongrel NATO find the bottle to sequestrate Jonny A-rabs' oil fields."
