FI have got a thing about Maersks franchise, every year they claim that BA are "reconsidering" the situation and implying that they are going to pull the plug on Bluestar.
Last year apparently Brymon were going to get the BA routes. As it happens Maersk own the licenses for the routes, not BA, so to some extent Maersk are holding all the cards.
Apparently it is a great little airline and fun to work for. I hope that it all works out for them.
