Cruel to be kind
The Government Aid to the Transatlantic carriers BA,BMI and Virgin should only be 4/365th of annual revenue suggests EU. 2 things I have a problem with.
1. The tax payer ie you and me will foot the bill eventually. We will be paying for companies bad management and over reliance on 1 type of route(All eggs in one basket!).
2. Where the government meddles things only get worse eg railtrack and the tube.
Better to be cruel but kind, treat all Airlines the same and let the individual companies business plans and market forces prevail. Much better for the consumer.
