I dont know what to think. However, I do think that somehow, something has to happen, pronto. Because of the newly signed France/US openskies and the anti trust immunity for DL/AF. If the UK and BA wait until the EU to negotiate a europe wide openskies, it will also be on worse terms for them. Also, with each passing month, they will feel more and more squeezed by DL/AF and others. I think that it is becasue of this that the US is holding the deck of cards, not the UK/BA with LHR.. .As things stand now, BA will have to rely on O&D traffic, as their connecting traffic will continue to diminish thanks to FRA, BRU, AMS and now CDG.. .I have no idea how long it will take for BA and the UK to realize this.
