Since OA is virtually broke, I highly doubt that the govt would even consider having OA raise the cash and return it. So you can guess what's gonna happen...
bye-bye OA!
Flew them a few weeks ago TVL-Athens and there was more legroom than I've had on just about any int'l economy class. Lack of in-flight magazine was a bit odd though.
