When then SIA CEO Dr Cheong bought a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic, he boasted how he and the SIA team skillfully negotiated over several rounds and finally made a last ditch effort in a restaurant and got Branson to agree by signing on a napkin the agreed position. It was his last of a series of debacles starting with the Air NZ stake.

How does Tony Fernandez start from scratch, rebuffed repeatedly by CAA, Temasek etc end up at the front end.
