RE: Airlines on the edge

The only longhaul a/c BA are getting rid of are 10 747-200’s ( God knows how old!) and 6 B767-300’s. Considering they have just bought/leased 30-40 B777’s I don’t think you can really call these cutbacks!! In fact the bringing in of the 777 fleet seems to have been a stroke of genius as otherwise I’m sure BA would be trying to get rid of a lot more 747-400’s as part of their plan to reduce capacity (note not routes). Considering they can’t rid themselves of the 3/4 that are surplus to requirements that would have led to a lot of money sitting there doing nothing but costing interest!
Maybe it’s time BA gave us all free tickets again like they did in ’92
