For those who still argue that IB has not been profitable for the past 13 years, please feel free to visit IB webpage and study the economical results.
Operating profit/loss for the last 5 years according to Iberia's financial statements:

Iberia

BA
2008 - 726 m
2009 - (358) m

These are the figures I have found online - I guess Iberia must've been boosting BAs profits in 2008 and 2011!
Please show us your figures to support your claim that Iberia has been profitable for the past 13 years - I'm betting you can't though because you're talking cr@p!
