BA and IB are
TOTALLY SEPARATE revenue centres under the balanced Anglo-Spanish IAG. There is no mechanism for either half to subsidise (or be raped!) by the other. Each airline is required to stand or fall by it's own results.
PERIOD!
WHAT ON EARTH would be the point of artificially boosting one partner, at the expense of the other???? Smell the coffee!!!!
Take the medicine and survive, or refuse the medicine and die. Frankly the more IB employees make ignorant and inaccurate allegations about the involvement of BA in their predicament, the less I care
which route is taken. But at the moment, the second option looks by far the more certain outcome!!
