BA COULD do what it wants to ANY area of it's business.
I've heard lots of rumours in the this business since I've been in it HZ123, as I'm sure you have.
Most of them as proved to be as true as "Elivs is alive and living on the moon!"
If you think that what you say is likely to be true, why not email Drew Crawley and ask him.
In the mean time I'll stick to "I'll believe it when I see it in writing".
