Sadly I'm not a pilot I'm SLF that's been on one or way too many VERY LATE BA flights of late. Coming back to every point made you disagree with adds little to the debate I'm afraid ! Let me clarify, if BA Open Skies takes off as is proposed, you will have the Jetstar scenario writ large. PLEASE use the search facility if you want to learn more on that but essentially it is a backdoor strategy to lower overall group Ts & Cs.
