I know you have to start somewhere, but you don't know if she'll actually do something at LJU or just run the same politic onwards
Whats at stake? Nothing.
This was the main problem with Skubir, as his decisions have been driven by the past experiences and feuds.
Let's make Slovenia's air story once again a story of success and innovation.
Good Speed Babett and may the wind be always at your back.
I think her role will be good for LJU, which is in urgent need of a national carrier or a major airline because it is not acceptable for an EU capital not to be decently connected with the rest of the continent!!
