pacamack,
Look at the trouble BA had to go through to start OS. Starting a new airline not to mention the disputes with the workforce is a lot of effort when BA could use their already well known brand in other countries. All Air France had to do was timetable a few 777s through Heathrow to operate their US services from there. Clearly they (BA) don't want their image to 'contaminate' Openskies' success. Much like they didn't want the BA mainline pilots to 'contaminate' it.
Unless BA aren't confident that they are a world brand, then surely doing the same as Air France would give them a competitive advantage?
