Hmmm, are you sure you know what you're talking about??
I know that they are planning to merge next year, but you shouldn't compare FM with MU. The one is the best Chinese airline (FM), the other must be the worst (MU)!
I don't think it's much of a coincidence that NH is codesharing with FM/CA, and that JL is codesharing with MU. It's called service, reliability and overall quality management. As far as the Chinese operations are concerned, I think that says it all.
Besides, as far as I know, JL and MU are amongst those airlines that are suffering most from the global economic downturn, as they are uncompetitive and as they have an inferior product and a far inferior image (not without reason).
I can confirm (first hand) that JL has some mighty problems to deal with, as far as its PRC/HKG operations are concerned.
I don't think the soft approach will help here... drastic action IS needed, indeed.
Now, as far as those credit card payments are concerned... any news???
