Letter: Airline vultures
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As one of the hundreds of Dan-Air employees due to be made redundant on 7 November, through British Airways' takeover, it is with anger that I read 'Airlines join forces to fight Dan-Air takeover' (27 October). If BA, by these airlines' actions, is prevented from going ahead with the deal, Dan-Air would become another Air Europe. Many hundreds more would be made unemployed and there would be minimal compensation for any of us.
Other British airlines had their chance to aid Dan-Air. It seems they would rather be vultures waiting to pick up the pieces for their own benefit than think about the people they are affecting.
Yours faithfully,
