The sooner this place is wound up/bought out/sold, the sooner we can all get on with our lives in a more stable environment with a new owner or in another carrier altogether!
If that's what you expect from a change of ownership, then stand by for a big shock!
And don't expect seniority to protect you. In fact, the expensive employees could be first for the chop.
As for teifiboy's link, what an appalling system, when Heathrow is strangled because one inefficient operator "owns" a big slice of the rights to use it! Time to wipe the slot allocation diary clean (and I include BA's interests) and start again.
