Commercial Ethos?

Deputy Maclean (45), who is married with young children and runs the estate agency Mulberry, has had responsibility for the Airport and the Island's harbours since assuming his role as Assistant Economic Development Minister. He said he had introduced a more commercial ethos to both Jersey Airport and Jersey Harbours that had resulted in more services, more routes and more travellers.

Is that the commercial ethos which has seen the loss of HD Ferries, and budget airlines are pulling out of Jersey routes? It's a very strange way to announce your campaign? I know it is not his doing, but to completely ignore the recent losses of services, and the continual failings of HD Ferries in order to paint a rosy picture (for which he takes all the credit) seems very strange!
