#1 Shareholders and customers will be horrified by the reality of what happens to deportees taken for these flights.

I wonder if shareholders and customers will be horrified when all that government contract money dries up and XL Airlines ceases to exist?

#2 I wonder how XL will deal with having their landing rights revoked.

#3 The US used to have a program, the Civil Reserve Air Force 9CRAF) whereby the gov't paid airlines a set amount every year to maintain some level of airflit capability, whether the ability to divert equipment to gov't needs, or helping to finance aircraft with additional abilities that they would not normally need ( example: the purchase of a convertible air freighter or stronger floors for hearier loads).
Does the UK have a similiar program, and if so does XL participate? they may be in real trouble it that is the cse.
