    Hey,

    A few of us have been a little critical of the low profile Todt's been keeping. What's he doing? Why isn't he more of a "leader" etc. However, as suspected, it seems he's been diligently beavering away behind the scenes. Here's his comments on the state of play and where he wants it to go;

    I'm really liking what I'm reading........ We always knew he's a smart guy, but despite what the lunatic says, a democracy has gotta be the way to get things done IMO.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Thanks for the report. No matter how well intentioned a democracy is not heaven :) I certainly understand his intentions and I hope his ideals can be carried out.

    No doubt. But it's gotta be better than the Lunatics autocratic style.

    Anyone know if promoters were part of any working groups previously? *If* those guys ever get their act together they could certainly stir the pot.

    Time will tell, but as I said, I'm liking the principles he's promoting.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    More from JT.

    No cost control / RRA in the new Concorde, but seems the pieces are being put in place - Possibly ahead of 2014.

    Again, I'm liking what I'm reading. His comments on $250MM would appear to be a little "dig" at the Pygmy - Love it! ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian
