Watch your details on profit/losses as you're not drawing true comparisons...
BA's profit is for the whole year, easyJet's loss for the last 6 months trading.
If you compare the 6 month performances, then BA has a loss of £175million vs easyJet's £48million loss
Both airlines figures have large exceptional cost elements , i.e. retirement of Concorde (BA), integration of Go / aborted acquisition of Deutsche BA (easyJet)
On the surface , to any casual viewer, yesterday's figures looked good for BA, whilst easyJet's figures from a few weeks ago were disappointing.
