Whilst I certainly don't want jobs to be lost, nationalization is never the answer.
It's usually not the answer, however a pragmatic person makes case by case judgements and avoids dogma. If PIK closes, Scotland as a country has no airfields anywhere near the size and capability for cargo and military. How much more of Scotland's freight do we want roaded from England?

btw Is Rolls Royce still in business? Why? It was nationalised after going bust due to development issues with the soon to be world class RB211 engine.
it soon became clear the offer was nonsense.
I am curious to hear what you mean by "nonsense"? Poaching customers from your competitors is pretty par for the course in the business tbh.
