From "The Observer"

Don Carty, chief executive of American Airlines, is '95 per cent certain' of
pulling off a partnership deal with British Airways by the end of the year,
he told The Observer this weekend.
Sources close to the European Commission in Brussels said they believed the
airlines would be asked to give up no more than eight daily frequencies and
perhaps as few as six 'slots' at Heathrow to accommodate rival carriers, as
part of an open skies deal to allow transatlantic allcomers into the airport.
This is less than half the 19 daily departures demanded five years ago when
the original BA-American deal collapsed.
How do AA and BA employees feel about this ?
