Ignore these reports in the papers. They are all theories, we shouldn't treat them as fact. The facts will turn up soon enough.

BA to give up on EOG?

BA throwing in the towel on LGW S/H sounds like a sensible business decision..I doubt GB would want to commit themselves to taking over loss making routes.
But they are only loss making routes while BA operate them due to their ridiculous overheads! GB have and will again take "loss making" routes from BA mainline and make them profitable.

Silly!

Man Flex,

Totally agree. Just because they are "loss-making" to BA, doesn't mean they would be loss-making to another more focussed company with the right overheads......such as GB Airways or another franchise which used to be based next to GB but is now consigned to history.

Yes, we just make these numbers up...heaven forbid that we make the effort to pick up the phone to ring our inside contacts.

Thumbs up

Nice to see some honesty KC!!!!

Still those baggage handlers will tell you anything for a fiver...

Why is it that when I read the papers any story on a subject that I know about (not many!) is generally at least partly wrong and often very wrong?

Anyway, we will see Wednesday...

Just think what they are writing about subjects of which you have little knowledge!
