What I said was I normally disagree with Government subsidy. In the most I agree with MOL and Stelios that the big boys problems are largely of their own making so why should they be bailed out. However, they are not going to be able to turn around their business model in time to stop some of the going out of business. I don't believe that allowing some to go bust will be good in the longterm. While Stelios and MOL are happy to serve European destinations I can't ever see them flying to the less glamerous medium to long haul destinations.
I agree that providing affordable tickets is the best way to get people flying again but BA, amongst others, have gone the other way!
