No idea just passing on what I was told.

I would assume flowers and fruit are not free loaded........

In fact, Mr. Papaleo seems to think the benefits of this displacement will far outweigh the costs, or so he says.
Nice point, I agree. In the end we have to hope that Mr. Papa lego and company are looking beyond the spreadsheet and including the impact on the pilot group and potential financial liability it will be to the company. We all want our company to succeed and it is definitely frustrating seeing money wasted as you described.
