Sorry to appear sensitive about it but BCAL were not bankrupt when BA bought them. At the time BCAL were about to be bought by Scandinavian Airlines. BA stepped in with a ridiculously high price to kill the competition.. .You were obviously not around at the time so I must admit, your idiot rantings do touch a nerve.. .The previous post is right - various BA managements have killed off the 'national airline' scenario.
