Wake up to reality

Sir,
Is it not time for Cyprus Airways to realise that in the real world, companies are supposed to survive on their profits. The unions cannot possibly expect Cyprus Airways to sign a deal that would put them into liquidation or bankruptcy.
As a member of the EU, Cyprus is obliged to follow all of its directives,
and not choose the ones it likes. Perhaps a new national motto should
be: ‘There are no cousins in Brussels’

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
