Pax speaking
Gordon would just let it go down?
Yes, I think he would. At the moment, the govt needs money to support banks that hold up thousands upon thousands of people not an airline where the jobs and equipment and routes would be picked up by others.
Whilst it is true that the Banks have got everybody into trouble, if they go down - then we could see the next global Depression. An airline or two? No, they are cannon fodder and will go.
