too low.....

I agree with your opening statement about BA possibly/probably not being around in 25 years but if you look back 25 years what other airlines were around in the UK.?? Monarch...... uuuummm..??

I think you are well behind the drag curve (maybe thats why you get a "too low terrain'...?) regarding your other comments.

Revenue has bounced back, yields are up 16%.

Back into profitability.

All Unions have agreed to massive changes APART from an increasingly irrelevant group of Cabin crew known as BASSA I have heard...!!!

Pension deficit is being resolved as all groups have agreed to again massive increases in their contributions, for longer with smaller payout. The stock market has bounced back, but interestingly no one mentions that when talking about pension funds only when it is crashing.?

Have you seen the BA share price this year...?

Hardly a "Dying Giant"....? Although a year or two ago I was very worried as you would have been spot on.

So enough of the negativity, be happy for the turnaround. Unless of course you have an agenda to talk it down.?


p.s. try to keep away from the granite.
