LH operations to be grounded until market demand picks up, that's the "flexible bit" . If lease holders do not accept a PBH deal, then they are stuffed. Additionally while the "plan" mentions credit card companies withholding funds due to the situation, it does not mention how many refunds are due to PAX( unless I'm missing something, which is possible at my age!) If LH demand picks up, and the crews are available, and the planes can still fly, and the Gatwick slots have not been sold, and the refunds do not outweigh the sales, then its looking like April 2021 before the lava hatches..In the mean time, all the crews will effectively be jobless as OSM will not keep them on ad-infinitum and the Government won't pay when the jobs are not likely to appear in the reasonable future..Gatwick airport just got a 300M bail out but won't be allowing spurious credit left right and centre, again, all down to cash flow.
