British Airways' Demand For Compensation

Should British Airways be paid compensation for being grounded - a payment which would to all intents and purposes be a subsidy, given that being unable to fly on account of ash in the atmosphere would usually be considered part of the risk involved in running an airline, but we'll let that one pass - it is to be hoped that all personnel who may have lost wages as a result of this unprecedented event, including those crew who took part in recent strike action, will be remunerated in full.

Just saying. And thanks to David Lindsay for the idea for the tag.
