Woof,
I couldn't agree more. What logic is there in differentiating between government and privately owned airlines? Why is one deserving and not the other?
More to the point, it is widely recognised that many of the airlines that have seen very significant cut backs in recent weeks were already facing financial difficulties before the event. BA and Virgin are two notable examples within the UK. Recent events have exacerbated their pre-existing problems. The supreme irony here is that maybe the guy concerned had contributed significantly to those pre-existing problems in BA. That makes his comments even more difficult to swallow. Has he no shame?
