The interruption to UK flights is a massive blow to the company. While we have all lost count of the number of countries that have closed and reopened, the suspension of these flights will have a greater impact. A substantial chunk of the 380 operation has now ground to the halt, which will elevate levels of stress and uncertainty for those on forced unpaid leave. Especially for those that don't have the means to survive for the full 12 month period and are hoping for an earlier recall.

With regards to any good news that we see at the moment, it seems to be mainly related to vaccine development and whilst it makes uplifting reading, it will probably take many months for the effects to filter down to us.
