Late to the thread but all I can say is good riddance. No bailouts for the banks, aviation or the rail companies should be given.

​​​​​For far too long customers have been squeezed and screwed over by companies in the name of soaring profits and dividend payouts. Especially in aviation employees have been treated like dirt too whilst their senior management teams sat on inflated pay rises and bonuses. We're all in it together? My backside we are.

So kindly take your dwindling profits and sob stories and sod off. Use your bottom line to fight your way through this mess like the rest of us are having to do. If your banking agreements and credit lines don't extend far enough so that you collapse, so be it.

Why is that when there's a crisis like this individuals are expected to be sat on a ton of personal savings to see us through it all with no bailouts and no protection from blatant price gouging by greedy companies. Yet the moment the going gets tough for big companies they go running to the government begging for more of our tax money.

Airlines are rotten to the core anyway. Its time for a shake up.
