The danger is any assumption (if there is one ) that that carrier would have to be "rump" BA.

Given BA's popularity with the general public one vote winner might be Virgin for long Haul, some iteration of Easyjet to pick up Short Haul?

I get very uneasy with the rhetoric I'm hearing from some of my cabin crew friends that the government won't let BA go/BA fail. I hasten to add I don't think we are anywhere near that ATM but there's some dangerous talk doing the rounds.
