Well, I would not be surprised that AY actually is profitable now when they have monopoly on some routes and prices for normal day trip are easily 2-3X pre-covid. So, Topi has one job, make money and he might succeed at least short term. I think it is fair to consider lack of DY or SK competition on some usual routes, so AY would not acting on shareholders interests on not to capitalize. But I'm optimistic that maybe AY can then bring back benefits when competition actually gets back on track. No matter what we complain, if my options to travel to I.e. Oslo are 400e on AY without anything or 200e via stopover, my time has value as well.
