CX's mistakes to date are not existential and they are nowhere near going bust. If this happened on CX everyone would be incredulous and the comments would be "someone should be fired". And there's a real likelihood that would actually happen (though we wouldn't be told).

Would that happen at MH? One wonders.


Anyway, the primary way to go bust is to run out of money. You're still giving them your money, plus MH tickets are still selling like hotcakes so much so that Bellew is lamenting he has not enough widebodies.

I'll leave you to build castles in the air about MH going bust.
