Like they did with Flybe and we know how that ended. Bailouts should be linked to money spent vs jobs saved. Say they need 762 million to keep going, this would equate to £100,000 per job as they only have 7620 employees. I would imagine most of their routes are duplicated anyway. Of course the airline supports other jobs around the world but it is not for the U.K. to save the world.
