As long as (Stobart) operates effectively and efficiently (and the necessary funding is available - either from income or investment for continued acquisition and expansion) then things will probably flourish, however the economic downturn will affect all eventually and pruning and closures will be inevitable.
To some extent, a nationalised industry might continue longer whilst losing money. For private organisations it will depend on the strength of the backing and their confidence to ride-out the storm.

(British Airways is said to be losing £1 million per day . . . )
