Exactly Uklad, it does makes one wonder what's really going on. Within the last 48 hours there have been rumours of BA buying bmi (if the MMC would let it happen), BA buying Iberia (or selling their existing stake in Iberia - having bought AA's Iberia stake only a year or so ago), bmi buying GB etc etc. All very confusing. But I'm sure that we can all rest easy in the knowledge that the highly paid senior management of these airlines know exactly what they are doing and have well thought out, detailed, plans which they are putting smoothly into practice.
