No choice if there is to be a BA in 3-5 years time. The airline in the short- / medium-term will be a functional one, as opposed to a bells-and-whistles carrier. My own personal opinion is that passenger enhancements and value-add services will be pared back significantly or dispensed with altogether. If it saves 1 job, then that will be fine for many people I’m sure.
I agree with you completely.

My only fear is that if they become more functional and no frills, people will just fly other airlines, leading to more bad news...
