Thank you MAGNUS. I know all about the guv, and am just sad that I wasted energy defending him in the past. His detractors were right, and I was most certainly wrong.

BTW, I suggest that everyone at BA and VIRGIN lobby their MPs for Aid. This is a war now and the rules have changed.

Not one ticket in AMerica has been sold since the events of the 11. I suspect similar things are happening world wide and the airlines are CRUCIAL to the evenual resumption of normalcy.

While normally I am opposed to state aid to the airlines. we are rapidly moving to a world war II type scenario for the next couple of years I think. The airlines will be crucial to moving troops and supplies to the front lines and cant be allowed to fold in the first week of the war.

It will take BILLIONS to preserve the air transport system over the next couple of years.
