Fair play
Had BA not bought Danair / BCAL they both would have gone down the pan. Many of BA senior managers are or were BCAL staff and that explains some of the extreme decisions that have been made. Also the love hate relationship that BA enjoys with LGW.
Despite this I understand why many ex Brymon, BRAL and others will feel aggrieved by BA's pull out from these routes and stations. However, since these units were franchised / purchased much has changed in the market place and what was yesterdays flavour is not todays.
