@ flyluke ...
... the company is unbreakable, just as the banks were.
The Titanic was also unsinkable, as were Lehman Bros and a few others besides

And whilst The City may love BA, one key criterion is whether the pax do - and continue to pay their fares to BA instead of other carriers. Government intervention to save major financial institutions is a different matter to bailing out an airline. Otherwise a lot of those carriers who folded over the last 18 months would still be operating.

History was cancelled about 12 months ago for those parallel universes of Finance and Business. THAT is when the future started again from zero, and there's a long way to go before we clearly know what that future will look like. I wouldn't care to predict whether that would include BA or not.
