Smile BA and the Streaky BACON

A question:

Does anyone believe that Willlie has got it right in retreating from the regions and starting the reformation of a BOAC oriented airline? Having got rid of BAR via BACX and BACON, LGW is clearly next, because it can no more compete with the LoCos than could BACON. The question is whether this is a viable policy.

Me - personally, and being purely objective I think he probably has, because the BA business model can never make a profit shorthaul, and the margins from Longhaul won't support S/H as a feeder. Interested in your opinions.
All those in favour of the motion please?
