Post of the week - nail hit firmly on head
Except, BA's business model revolves very much around long haul, where very few loco's operate. Also, 3 out of the 4 cabins on most BA long haul aircraft are for premium offerings and 2/3 on the others.
And also Lufthansa group announced an operating profit for Q3.
I therefore believe that the problems are somewhat deeper than Rusland 17 opines.
