Actually, it's not routine. It's a long drawn out struggle. Charters get closed much faster.

You really ought to read the article before arguing about it.
I'm not discussing the article. I'm discussing the message about the article. I'm responding to the claims and arguments of that message. The relationship between my responses and the article are irrelevant.
You've restated the article author's point regarding Finland.
