I find it laughable that someone would use Lufty as an example of why the lo-co's aren't affecting BA's profits
I did not say that the locos are not affecting BA's profits, just pointed out that BA has a big long haul business, where they do not encounter too many locos.
I cited Lufthansa to show that a legacy airline can make an operating profit in hard times.
LH is also subject to low cost competition on shorthaul and operates a global network, like BA, with premium traffic part of the mix, like BA.
Therefore, would you like to explain why it is not a valid comparison?
