Just to set things right here chaps.

The whole of the BACX operation is under review at the moment to find out how the costs could be brought down. The loss we made last year is not that much and if you look around us airlines have been losing astronomical amounts of money without going out of business.
If we look back a year ago, the airline was cancelling 30 sectors a day on average because of lack of cabin crew alone. When you add the costs of that and having to charter out a/c to do those flights, taxis of disrupted crews going around to work at other bases etc etc etc ....... the amount of money we lost i think is not bad at all.
This year even with a war and this new disease ,the loads have been good with the exception obviously of a couple of routes during certain times of the day.
Personally most of the flights i've done lately go around 80-90% full.
So i think these rumours are nothing but rumours and stand no ground.
Also i would challenge anyone out there working for any airline to come forward and say how safe he/she feels right now at these hard times for the industry.
