CX buying BA -400's - It will never happen, consider the following:

Greedy Guts CX CEO walks into London office:

"I say old chap I believe you have some 400's for sale? Things are a little tough in the Orient wot, but I can probably give you US$5M each for them.

Greedy Guts ex CX CEO in his London office:

Maaate, US$5M? I'm not that much of great bloody Galah! Tell yer what, since every Tom, Dick and Harry is knocking at my door wanting them but you are such an old mate I'll give'm to you at a knockdown price of US190M each - for this week only!

and so it goes on for weeks until the negotiating gap is narrowed to US$180M each, then both parties finally give up.

I have a chuckle everytime I think of two CX CEO's trying to haggle with each other.
