ETIHAD made some poor investments over last few years with some struggling European airlines, and all turned out to be duds so lost a shed load of money. Aussie ''boy wonder'' CEO James Hogan I understand was instrumental in most of this and has paid the price with a demotion in ETIHAD. Edinburgh also has had its service cancelled as well as Perth, as ETD reviews its world wide operation. Sorry to see them go though. QR and EK must be rubbing their hands with glee!
