"BA will never collapse, the UK government would stop it long before it came to this.
If they let this go into something like such would be a really bad embarrassment for the UK.
Politics rules here people."

Living in the past there.

Did the government Stop Rover going bust?
Did they stop the massive job losses at corus?
Did they stop Globespan going bust or any of the other airlines?
Did the belgium Government stop Sabena going bust?
did the government stop all the other buisnesses in this country going bust?

Besides the fact that the EU will not allow government intervention (unless its thier own personal money in their bank accounts of course) the political will from the two main political parties (you can't get a fag paper between thier views these days) is not there to save a private industry
