i too applaud the thought process, however acting with integrity could also be a little naiive in believing the public will return to the airline with open arms.
would you seriously book a seat on an airline openly stating that they are facing difficulties, have already stopped accepting bookings for a limited period, and have not yet 100% secured financial backing that is required to keep them afloat?
my money would stay in my pocket if i'm totally honest, even though i wish them all the best i would not want my money "trying" to keep them afloat.
it's bad enough trying to keep yourself amount with Mr Brown still "in charge"
