It's horrible to watch an industry that has been so carefully created simply thrown to the dogs. Aviation is as worthy of government support as anything else, though the matter of demanding help whilst paying dividends is unforgivable even if contractual. A million employment contracts have been broken by employers, so why not one to shareholders?
It seems supremely ironic that only yesterday Willie Walsh threw a tantrum over support for Flybe, and now he sees nothing wrong in government money arriving in BA!
When air travel does resume, I think it will be expensive and only for the comparative few.
My heartfelt thoughts are with all those whose futures are in doubt. Being over 65 and past it has its benefits.
