in god we trust, everyone else pays cash

continuing the credit crunch theme (see 16th Sept) Paddypower has opened a book on which airline will be next to go belly up. Betting without Alitalia, FlyGlobanspan are the current 6/4 favourites, Spanair 4/1, Air Berlin 10/1 with the first national carrier Finnair also 10/1. Aer Lingus is a healthy66/1 and as you can imagine Ryanair is seen as currently safe at 100/1 the same price as BA and Air France. But the rank outsider and safe bet and seen as the least likely to crash to earth is..........Vatican Airlines at 500/1. but lets avoid jokes about frequent friar miles or Pontious Pilot. The last will be first and the first will be last.
