I was recently criticized by some for saying nobody would really care about BA were ever to go belly up.

Surely at the end of the day, this is nothing more than a piece of public transport to get from A to B. Sure I enjoy flying with the airline and whilst if they did go belly up it would be sad most notably for the short term but would be quickly replaced by other and probably better carriers. I just think people live too much in the past and can’t accept change in where it wants to go or be.

But I just don’t get it, why do people care so much and have an emotional attachment for BA?
