Ever since we started flying SIBA in Europe, the bean counters have been trying to find a way to open a foreign domicile to cut costs and every time they did the math, they said, "I guess those first class DH tickets aren't so expensive after all". That was until they sold us the FDA.........on the cheap. Did you notice the ceasing of the backslapping coming from both sides when the FO's wisely passed on the bid? I guess hiring into the right seat and all the attendant issues we now face in getting Paris up and running has forced management to reconsider. Apparently we got too close to that magic number again, where once again...you can hear them saying......."I guess those first class DH tickets.....?

FO's.....you did good. Many saw this one coming.
