The best they can do is soldier on and probably make available some offers/bonuses that soften the blow. But whatever they are going to do, they need to do it very quickly. They will be monitoring sales day-by-day and I cannot believe the numbers look good. There has been considerable mismanagement here.
I think some forum members are massively over egging this into being some sort of crisis for BA, when it really isn't at the moment. The IAG share price is down about 1% since the announcement, so investors are hardly panicking. BA would have expected some fall out from EC members as part of this process.
Obviously we need to see how it pans out long term, but I can't see anything to indicate this move is going to hurt BA..
