Nothing but making the flying community aware of the latest problem Swiss is encountering. Swiss clashed with BA at the beginning of June over the transfer of Frequent Flyer datas and cancelled its candidature to Oneworld. The resigning boardmember, Kudelski, who supported the deal in which Swiss lost 8 precious slots at Heathrow to BA and some high-yield routes (Lagos, LDN-City, a. o.) could not stand to this change of mood, paving the way for a takeover through Lufthansa, although she would get the Swiss market shares for free if she simply waits for the company to collapse.

I thought it would be interesting for an english speaking aviation forum. But if you feel like erasing this topic, please do so: Swiss won't fly much longer anyway. 7'500 jobless will have plenty of time reading on pprune about other airlines who survived.
