Well Michael Steven, when did you join the BA Board? You seem to know more than anybody (even the BA Board)! I would suggest you are spouting pure 'guesswork', with what seems a bit of crowing! Sure BA is hurting- so are all the others. Each airline is putting into force what it perceives to be long term survivability measures for itself. I think you are reading too much in your tea leaves! But at the end of the day- if you just want a discussion about 'soft' rumours, why not go to Questions Forum? This is a forum for 'hard' Rumours & News.
