I suppose....

I guess I am slightly biased after some less then great experiences with JQ on the ground.

What I thought was interesting last night was that Joyce was wearing a tie. All the pics of him in the JQ magazine are him without tie looking ever so much the LCC exec.

Can someone pls tell me why LCC has to = no tie? Do the public actually buy the image that because the CEO 'can't afford a tie' means the airline is not making huge profits therefore the fares are low? I would have thought that tie = professional look = safety?

Still wondering
