BA govenment bailout will not happen
Just to put to rest anyone's idea that the government would not let BA fail and would bail them out, when I was a senior manager at BA after 9/11, Rod Eddington asked that very question of the government and was told, in no uncertain terms, that BA and all UK airlines were on their own - succeed or fail as you and the market dictate. There would be NO government assistance.
Times have changed in the 9 years since, but the Government hasn't.
If BA is not a viable company on it's own, then it will be allowed to go to the wall. Do not think the government is going to bail you out.
