Fouga- I'm not straying from the point at all, i was using these examples in regard to the apparent ba problem..which is rapidly turning into a problem for people with no business acumen.
You say competition on the routes exampled.. they are not competing with each other. I don't believe that Air Tahiti get any subsidy form the french govornment for that route btw.
Please also look at paxboy's comments. Ba is a business after all
RE: easyjet- i was under the impression (misled, maybe) that ezy were considering legal action as a result of the allocation,I don't call that happy!
Please explain why ba should operate at a loss edi-fra or edi-dub or gla-jfk or bhx-prg? Others may operate them but for BA it is too expensive.
I'll repeat again....why do you owe ba anything and why do they owe you anything?
They are not a charity.
btw- i don't work for nor consider myself an apologist for ba.....the clue is in my name.
I find myself chuckling ironically at the stance i've taken.
