Right soundbite Boris, wrong context.

Force people to EVs, majority will never be able to afford it, then you will see the collapse of a civilisation within a year. If people can't move around freely as they do now, for work, it will be game over.

I know a little about hydrogen, there is no way I would ever step foot on a plane with any amount of hydrogen stored on it, whether it powered the engines or not. Unless you are going to have every cavity from the hull to the wheel bay cowling vented like an rice sieve, you are guaranteed an eventual failure and a big yellow flash in the sky resulting in a shower of plane bits and pieces along with the cargo!!!

RI for retail shareholders, maybe. But there are other forms of RI only for iis and debt swaps. That is why for me it is too risky. It is money and business and retail investors are bottom of the heap where big money is concerned. Even if it was available to retail investors, I think the sentiment will drop a good 20% below par at least. Too much politics in the boardroom and large investors will have self-interest.

"Unsurprisingly, IAG’s CEO Luis Gallego declined to offer a financial outlook for the second half of the year, citing uncertainty over travel restrictions and the ongoing impact of Covid-19."

This is caveat I have flagged up a few times only to be denied by rampers. Interesting it is cited in an article leading up to the results.......

My fav jourines are long haul arriving in day time in SEA. I immediately recognize the cloud shapes that always seem to be the same in the tropics over there. Wobbly columns of cloud. Most surreal moment, night over the plains of Mongolia watching old classic daffy duck cartoons on the monitor sipping whisky. Something got me about that moment and it was if I could see through the floor down to the nomads in their yurts whilst the beautifully hand drawn mid 20th century cartoons shone in vivid colour. Something struck me about the amazing thing flying was and how so easy it was to do it. Same, warm and cosy sipping my whisky. A moment I still remember. Think I was flying back from the 2009 eclipse.

This is something to keep an eye on. SOmebody posted that there may be a price war. Norwegian maybe out of the picture but the phoenix is rising from the ashes, and together with the likes of JetBlue, and the all the other state supported carriers, BA within IAG may struggle. More fuel to fire the financial option of selling off BA form IAG. I expect trading conditions to be very tough Q1/2 of 2022.

I think sundenza was thinking of Comair but since he doesn't DHOR wasn't able to do a 11 second open Google search to find it

Everything keeps pointing to sundenza being underage.

Where does BA have a monopoly in Africa? I am intrigued. Do they fly with flares and chaff by any chance?

Why should I waste my time looking for a flight you claim exists but don't post any evidence of? What do you think this is? You're the gopher!

"somewhere in Africa"

That'll narrow it down then, lol

If it wasn't for the title of the RNS, who could have known, especially as there is usually one of these around the end of the month anyway.

Have a scroll down through the list of campaign groups latching on to CC agenda. You'll understand why this has nothing to do with 'science' anymore. I suspect there will be all sorts of problems up in Glasgow, I would be interested to know how much perimeter security has been deployed around the airport to stop runway sit ins, shotgun deployment to deal with drones and how many police are being deployed in the green zone. I am expecting very serious trouble because the ramping of the hysteria about burning a planet, millions dying from CC, and boiling righteous indignation about everything capitalist and the hypnotised belief that a planet is actually being destroyed is now so wide spread and irrational, inner control will be suppressed and lots of people will go aggressive. Just look at the idiots glueing themselves to the M25, for more loft lagging? Seriously?

I did lots of Airfix models when I were a lad, perhaps I should pop down to the hangers and offer my services. I could do the wings.

futures in sellotape and superglue have rocketed on sundenzas rumour of the comeback of BA's 747 fleet.

R8, yes!!!!!! According to a mouthpiece on radio 4 this morning, think he was some religious bod given a very long thought for the day spot, he was apparently very impressed with a 'scientist' claiming the earth wouldn't be a fit place to live in 50 years. The degree of nonsense in that statement is mind boggling. Yet, there is a consensus rife amongst all the great and good that there is a mass extinction, all the ice is melting NOW, temperatures are perpetually above 50c, the sea is turning to acid and all this from a claim that a 0.04% trace gas in the atmosphere has increased by a marginal amount - that is a trace gas used by vegetation to survive which can convert increased levels of the trace gas as it exists.
It is all crap but there is an almost zombified acceptance of anything stated and the decision makers and policy makers around the world are going along with it blindly without question. Yes, I do fear that in this virtually hypnotised state major errors of policy are on the cards. The stopping of making fossil fuel cars and forcing people to use ev will be a catastrophe as few will ever be able to afford running them and with so many not able to get to work there is going to be a economic meltdown. The hysterics against shale gas have led us to be reliant on others and immediately we are in big trouble with supply and prices. Climate change taxes are putting many energy providers out of business, green levies all over the place have stressed household budgets and it is only going to get worse. It is a marxist take-over by stealth, just listen to the pope this morning, it was all about being one happy clappy socialist collective. ANd all opposition to the cult is deleted and crushed by mass media which instead promotes the lies.

You are thinking rationally R8, the climate change hysteria is not on any rational plain anymore. And there is no opposition to it.

I'm watching the signs very carefully sundenza, it will be about how much m gains are reduced though. I am hearing rumblings of opposition to cc under the radar. Things are getting so hysterical I am betting on a bit of a collapse in the exclusivity of the debate and the mps being forced to notice a growing opposition lobby. All those anti-fracking mps are engaging in some back peddling.

benji boy, bonds have to be paid back. Aston Martin racing are trying to sell bonds. Because bonds have to be paid back, i means divs are affected. I don't think the main voting shareholders would go with a bond issue.

Again, more talk of all the energy companies going bust. Still not one word on how the climate change levy is a major problem on the bills. Even when a critical variable is knowingly swept under the carpet trying not to bring attention to it, the exact opposite happens. Next will be aviation fuel tax over pricing tickets which will sink a lot of carriers. It covid testing costs were enough to put off millions of journeys, a similar effect should happen with passenger surcharges. Given the completely closed one sided mass media, what chance do you think any reasonable debate will take place. On climate change we are in a zone of utter analytical hysterics. All reason has been lost. We are one step away from a grand declaration to cut all air travel to essential trips only. And if it was imposed, there is nobody in power of the mindset to resist it. Too many world leaders are brought into the lie now.

Hexam, I don't remember you on this board a few weeks ago. There was a torrent of posts insisting there was no prospect of an RI and all manner of superficial reasons were being given, amongst them highly selective paraphrased ceo quotes. I seemed to find myself drawn in to contending each one - ence the anger and hatred of me for keeping a degree of real world reality against an extremely intensive hysterical rap fest tat lasted for many weeks.

"None of the brokers are "declaring a company needs to do a RI in order to survive" when referring to IAG."

Thanks for pointing out my exuberant interpretation summarising the 4 notes. How about some of the same for the dilution deniers to ensure a fair balanced view? mmmmm this is why it is necessary to answer each denial or misdirection.
