M Mouse - the more relevant question is will BA be around in 5 years time, and if it is will it resemble anything like we see now.
My guess is 'yes' to the first bit but 'no' to the second, as I think the remnants will be a long haul operation with a hugely trimmed down short haul presence.
For the record, eJ aren't losing money on BFS.
