Imagine we suspended services every time something happened at one of our destinations....we would need a pilot group less than 25% of what we have today. Imagine we stopped flying to Canada because of what happened in their parliament recently? Or suspended 6 daily flights to KHI because of what happened a few months ago? Maybe 3 daily flights to MNL because there is a well known terror group that operate regularly without making the BBC news...
Last but not least cancel 8 daily (most profitable route we have) to LHR/LGW because every IS fighter on TV we see is of british nationality and the terror alert there is 'Severe'. Please tell me you don't believe those guys become 'cut-your-head-off' happy and brain washed only after they arrive at the Turkish boarder

I'm siding with the company on this one
