Insurance? Would cost X to charter a plane to Athens but charged x+10 as its for "insurance work". Same for landing crew, runway slot etc etc.
Price ends up significantly higher then the actual cost.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

How/why does insurance work = a +10 mark up?

Sounds like the media plucking figures out of the air to me.

Will that figure include hotels and expenses for stranded travellers?

And compensation for those affected too?

Works out at £554 per head, so I guess it's possible.

It's the extras.

Maybe they paid by credit card.

Hi Alan,

Not sure I can take the dubious credit for that.

When I typed it, I immediately realised there was an unintentional bad pun there, but my imagination cells were AWOL that day, & at the time I could not think of better phrasing.
