Not sure whether you approve or disapprove. One thing for sure air travel will be in the doldrums for some time. How soon will it bounce back?? How long is a piece of string? It may well be survival of the fittest and if it is then you can't crticise BA. The only "unknown" will be the control governments have over their "flag carrier"(if they bail them out) and whether that will put "independant" airlines at a disadvantage. Government approval route wise etc might become difficult if the competition is a flag carrier the government has a financial interest in.
Lets hope the public travel asap. Whether they will be able to afford after job losses etc. another question.
