The key word here is considering, I think the BA rumour mill (it's most productive division ) is being unleashed on a wider world, makes a change from just the staff.

When Cityflyer merged with BA Gatwick a lot was said then which doesn't seem to have come to pass, and I'm now on a fake BA contract (BA at the top Cityflyer T&C, oh no sorry, I don't have a portacabin as a crew room anymore) so basically I'm now s*****d both ways. I don't get any of the benefits yet my head is still on the block.

Also if BA pulls out of short haul europe how will it's remaining franchises fare. Will BA allow those franchises to take on some of the routes it couldn't make pay.
I would imagine not, because if those said franchises proceeded to make those routes pay BA would be left with a massive amount of egg on it's face which would expose it for what it is.
