Reasons I love Mihin Lanka Airlines
Friday, 18 January 2008 - 12:07 PM SL Time |  | |
Let me count the ways:
1. I love the way you worked for the benefit of the nation by busting through 1.4 billion rupees of public funds in 9 months.
2. I love the way you used 385 million rupees worth of fuel from the CPC without paying for it.
3. I love the way you convinced the Treasury (public funds) to pay off the fuel debt on your behalf.
4. I love the way you drove Lankaputhra Development Bank (founded with public funds to make small loans to small businesses) into insolvency by `borrowing` 500 million rupees from it.
5. I love the way you plan to utilize synergies (steal profits away) by rationalizing routes (taking routes from) Sri Lankan airlines.
6. I love the way you take off with bits and pieces missing from an engine: `heck, most of it is there, it`ll fly` and the `Mayday! Mayday!` that facilitates speedy entry for unscheduled stop-overs.

When Mahinda launched Mihin Lanka, he wanted its slogan to be:
'Mihin Lanka, You pay we Fly' but someone with brains managed to convince him and said it means the same if you say 'Yours to fly'. Luckily Mahinda cannot understand English!

Sounds like scary airline,
you get crappy airlines like that in the US too, the difference is they are privately own. Funny one!

Yes, it is my principle to support people I like even if they might end up born losers. :-)
