Agree. However, she may have a bonus for selling the company. We will never know.

I'm not a brexiteer, by any stretch of the imagination. However, when and If the UK does leave there is nothing to stop the UK government adopting similar ownership rules for airlines as Australia does - there are no nationality requirements. That would effectively retain the status-quo with IAG, Ryanair, easyJet, Virgin and Connect having their respective UK divisions as part of a larger EU controlled & owned group.
