So, British Airways and BMI cancelled return flights to Libya yesterday. As a matter of interest, were the cancellations at the behest of the company management, or did crews not wish to take the risk to fly into Libya. If the former, surely a government insurance agreement could have overcome any misgivings that the companies would be re-imbursed for any losses. If the scheduled crews didn’t want to risk flying their planes there, surely there would have been volunteers from the companies that would have stepped in?
