so british airways has gone on the attack. willie walsh, the ultimate boss of ba, argues that virgin and delta have the resources to rescue flybe themselves, and the taxpayer was picking up the tab for their mismanagement of the airline. he added, "this is a blatant misuse of public funds." flybe is the latest in a succession of troubled uk travel companies. last year, it was thomas cook, with 9,000 jobs, which the government decided not to save. ministers have moved quickly to defend their approach this time. the government isn't in the market to bail out private companies. what we do, on a case by case basis, is look to see whether a business is viable. the difference, for example, between flybe and thomas cook was that in the case of thomas cook it had huge amounts of debt, and any taxpayers' money would have simply been throwing good money after bad. it was not a viable company. it is understood that the flybe rescue package involves the government allowing it to defer £100 million of tax, the air passenger duty, which it

rivals, like willie walsh of british airways, or iag which owns british airways, are not happy. they see this as a misuse of public funds. willie walsh has sent a letter to grant shapps, which is not in the public domain but i have seen a copy of it. it is very strongly worded. he says it is a blatant misuse of public funds and it points out that flybe is part owned by virgin atlantic, which in turn is part owned by delta air lines, one of the world's largest and most profitable airlines. and between the two of them they do not have the resources to keep flybe operating, well, then why are they falling back on taxpayer support? so a great deal of anger there. other airlines not quite so against the proposal. they say the regional connectivity thing is worthwhile doing and it is only a small amount of public funds anyway. over the years, the regional airline industry in the uk has shrunk down so there are now only three players. by far the largest of which is flybe, then there is also loganair and eastern airlines, which is actually operated as a franchise of flybe anyway. but it
