Stockpicker - thanks for that - as I said, I'm rather ignorant of such matters.
I noted that BA's sept traffic stats are just out - wonder whether they are contributing to the higher price - unfortunately whilst I have a basic understanding (numerically) of said stats, I don't know how significant they are in an 'airline business' context. Perhaps you can share your learned opinion on that one stockpicker?!!!
PS Would a moderator please post on here the reason(s) why this thread has been moved here from rumours and news - I am confused and peeved........
