I'm not saying it's not a good company to use as comparison, only that things aren't all rosy in Luftys' garden either
As I see it, the LoCo's have it nailed when it comes to what passengers want for a short trip - we certainly don't. I agree with you both that some more drastic action is needed and definately don't have my head in the sand where that is concerned.
I am however totally against liquidating a 40000+ peoples jobs just to "free up" LHR for the LoCo's. It's a competetive business, those that aren't up to it go under those that are thrive. I just hope that BA survive for very selfish reasons.
No doubt if I didn't work for them I might see things slightly differently
