It is sad, Wheelie, indeed. I remember having several conversations at work about Swissair's strategy over the past couple of years. Generally we were shaking our heads in disbelief but never thought it would end up like this. I predicted that Swissair would end up in One World, now they ended up tits up. However the next step for Swissair 2 would have to be to join an alliance, which would be...One World. Otherwise: No chance.
BTW, spring is creeping in down here (26°C today!). And I've managed to avoid the woollen pigs so far (where are my gumboots?)
