So, BA has problems. How many European 'flag' carriers are also having a few financial worries? (Swissair and Sabena come to mind).

Instead of ditching Go, it should have looked to enhance its operation. I see the classics are for retirement, but I always understood that they were destined to be used by Go. No frills long haul. Go submitted route applications to loads of far away destinations.

So is anyone surprised at the BA downfall?

Good luck Go, Ryanair and easyJet, all it needs now is a low-cost to operate long-haul!

Job losses are an inevitable concequence of 'value' for shareholders. Short-term profit over long-term strategy?
