Alas, the poor Swiss!

First it was Swissair going bankrupt in 2001. My human told me they were a fantastic airline - very efficient, very smart, very clean, very Swiss. Swissair was Europe's seventh biggest airline before collapsing.



Now Swiss International, which was created in a 2.7 billion franc public-private bailout after grafting the remains of Swissair onto regional carrier Crossair is also in trouble.

They are about to undergo a takeover by Germany's Lufthansa. Thankfully, they will not be absorbed and will continue to fly as Swiss and still hub at Zurich.

Announcement by Swiss International.

Now why couldn't somebody have saved Ansett, which was one of Australia's great airlines?

Now why is a cat interested in all this? Why not? Indeed.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

Today was another really warm day. Hot weather makes me sleepy.
