I feel strongly, if the govt (laugh laugh!) send any financial team in there, they will come up with savings.

We heard the fuel hedging argument from Myles McHugh at a local meeting. (It appeared they still hedge this) He was challenged that since the fuel prices had gone back down how could that be a reason for increase, and he said because of hedging they were still carrying the burden of the higher cost from earlier in the year. So then he was challenged that a some point they must have bought low and then then cost rose - where did the benefit from this go, there's always increases?. Unsurprisingly, no answer to that one.
