apaddyinuk,
I think that an airline can be shut down in a day, doesn't their licence just get revoked when they are insolvent?
Your attitude reminds me of a comment I heard once from an ex-BCal employee, "Now BCal, that was a real airline." What happened to them?
Also, can anyone tell me what the CSD's used to do for all those hours when they weren't expected to help in the cabin?
Have a good day.
