there is another background to this which is that schiphol airport has a movement limits perannum, sont limits per annum, so they can't actually expand more capacity and put more frequencies on at the moment until there is a new agreement reached with the government and with the environmentalists, so it is about posturing, but it is also about saying, enough is enough, we have seen this going on for a very long time, klm was nearly eight times more profitable than air france last year and it has been for nearly all 15 years of the business operation, you know, and it isjust seeing 15 years of the business operation, you know, and it is just seeing this money that they perceive as being wasted with a new ceo coming in at the group coming from air canada, they are just a bit cautious about where things go from here, you know. they have a very well—respected ceo who, rumour has it, was being with these contract not being renewed and that sent alarm bells ringing. ok, john, thank you for that. the us economy grew 2.6% in the last three months of 2018. that was much better than expected. s
