I don&#39;t think that BA will be the last carrier to indtroduce this sorts of measures ... unfortunately most of the world doesn&#39;t have that nice soft bed called Chapter 11 to fall into when they are ailing and can&#39;t pay the bills.[/b]
Chapter 11 did not help Pan Am, it possibly prolonged TWA&#39;s life. We&#39;re given to understand from the prooganda machine that CO became very strong after exiting Chapter 11 ..... BA doesn&#39;t have the option of a Chapter 11 fall back, but BA is BA and these are tough times, it will pull through.
As an ex Pan Am, I don&#39;t think too far ahead
One thing is for sure, the fare sale BA had last month resulted in revenue tickets being cheaper than a ZED
