My wife and I took # 742 to Barcelona ( July 22 ) and returned August 3 on # 715 from Venice . We traveled in economy . Both flights had the worst food we have ever experienced on a domestic or international flight . This was in addition to the antiquated entertainment system and lousy service . Leaving we sat on the plane for one and 1/2 hours with no air conditioning . How long can this airline survive --- Any one else could not be worse .

Question: What leads the speaker to question the amount of time that the airline can survive ?
Answer: They provide abysmal customer service and accommodations and no one will want to use them as an airlineThey have been responsible for two fatal crashes in the past five years and may be getting shut downThey are declaring bankruptcy and the speaker is worried that they wo n't be around much longerThey can not afford to hire enough pilots to keep the airline running on schedule so they will have to close
