And of course Stobart Air wasn't thrown under the bus by Aer Lingus and IAG with a nominated and freshly created suitor waiting in the shade to take over the Regional flying, was it ? Not entirely short of business with resumption of flights and an expanded BHD operation either. We already know how IAG likes to do business, and if this collapse is being entirely blamed on the pandemic, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Stobart aside , airlines , travel industry , hotels going to go under , only a matter of time ... my point is still valid , yours is simply a deflection
Your point is merely a continuation of your argument that public health should take second place to commerce, even if the pursuit of said commerce endangers public health. As others have argued, until a full vaccination programme has been completed, there's no point at all in risking the progress already made. Yes lots of harsh realities to be dealt with but then again The Dummies Guide to Pandemic Trading never did get published, did it ?
As to my 'point of defection' as you put it, If you think the demise of Stobart Air is purely down to current market conditions, that's entirely up to you.
Quite. If our borders had been closed this year we’d not be in the middle of a third wave. The so called Indian variant now accounts for about 90% of cases in the UK. This is because Boris Johnson’s government allowed dozens of flights a week land in London from India.
Those wanting travel thrown open to every Tom, Dick and Harry will never see a return to normality. The only way to get near normality is to beat the virus, not keep opening new doors to it every time it’s nearly beaten.

You don’t beat it by allowing thousands of people each week to enter the UK from India when India was being decimated by a new, more virulent strain of the virus.
Yes we need to open up but only to and from where it’s safe to do so.
Meanwhile the much vaunted end of Covid restrictions on 21 June in England by the government there is being cancelled because cases are now as high as they were back in February.
On a more positive note, Ryanair's 3 Polish routes have resumed this week, along with Dublin. which leaves only Charleroi to re-start. Easyjet manage to get in to double-digits of domestics on some days as well, and BA frequencies on London City and LHR have also improved. Hopefully Tui and Jet2 will manage to get going at some point in July.
