Many people are suggesting that BA are stuffed by this take-over. Quite the opposite.......
With one swipe Lufthansa have helped BA and American to 'merge'. With Lufthansa/Star Alliance having such a dominant postition at LHR now, they have played right into Willy Walsh's hands.
The only person left totally in the cold is Richard Branson. It is amazing that SQ haven't dumped him as such a liability.
