How arrogant do you have to be to have a press conference about a
new start the VERY day after the Konkursverwalter
accepts/accepted the requests from creditors and closes the
deadline.
I mean the dead body is still warm, the courts are hunting the
murderer and are still trying to figure out the damage, the
employees are fleeing the sinking ship, and thoses guys are
running for a new show. Enron - Swissair - what's the diff ?

Subject: Switzerland´s new airline soon ready for take-off
Dear Mr. Schuppenhauer,
The creation of Switzerland´s new airline has come about through an
unprecedented co-operation by the Federal Council, the cantons, industry,
banks, private investors and the Swiss people themselves. Within four months, a
total of 2.7 billion Swiss francs was raised to found a new airline. Not an
easy task, but the good will and spirit shown by all parties involved
demonstrated how important an airline is to the nation and that a global flag
carrier of scale is an essential instrument to maintain Switzerland´s
outstanding international reputation.
As announced January 31 at a press conference in Basel, the formation of the
new Swiss airline is progressing smoothly in advance of its operational launch
at the beginning of April. From the moment it is airborne, the new airline will
clearly reflect its close connection with Switzerland. Operating under the
brand name SWISS, the new airline will take its place on the world airline
stage as a modern and reliable Swiss airline built around the time-honoured
values of caring, efficiency, hospitality and service. After all, it is
precisely these values that have brought Switzerland prosperity and worldwide
respect.
As for specifics of the new product, its global route network will provide
connections to more than 100 dynamic business and cultural destinations, both
within Europe and beyond to other continents. A commitment to outstanding
quality will combine with energy and innovation to make your journey as
pleasant and smooth as possible.
With a solid financial base to build on, the new carrier is poised to fly out
confidently into the world with a new name and livery. You are warmly invited
to take part in writing this next chapter in the history of Swiss civil
aviation, together with Swiss Air Lines Ltd. The change of name of the company
from Crossair AG to Swiss Air Lines Ltd. is foreseen for later this year,
subject to shareholder approval. Find out more about the new airline on the
promotional website: http://www.fly-swiss.com .
We wish to thank you for your loyalty toward Swissair and Crossair in the past
and look forward to welcoming you again on board.
André Dosé
Chief Executive Officer
