I've not seen it reported elsewhere, but I had a feeling BD, VS & LH would get together, it makes sense for the Germans, makes sense for VS. 49% of their equity wont be hard to come by either, SQ have lost patience with VS.
I think this has the best chance of succeeding under the beedy eye of the Germans. Probably means the end for the BD livery, if and its a BIG IF, this is true.
