Are you also suggesting that BA caused the worldwide financial crisis so that IB would lose money? BA made a profit, IB is far from it.
BA made record profits in 2008-2009 reaching the 10% profit margin. Then funnily enough the 'fight for survival' took a grip, whilst the company fought the cabin crew we made record losses - we were in intensive care. Then a miracle happened, as soon as ffs was over we started making profits and we all got 3 weeks pay - we're now making considerable profits.
Come on Wirby et al, the city was briefed on the plan before ffs was announced.
Have you seen a company's share price when they announce to the city a mild profit warning, never mind 'we're about to go bust'
Then the biggest laugh of all was in April 2010, after the first 3 days of IA in the March and the ash cloud arrived, ww appears on TV to tell the world 'we are the most financially secure airline in Europe'.
It's insulting to anyone with half a brain - and Wirby don't say it's half more than I've got!!!
