Haha, thanks, i was expecting to get shot down in flames (altho there is time for that yet...).
I just want things to get sorted quickly for everybody, there are a lot of people both within BA and outside BA waiting on the outcome of these talks before deciding what to do next (ie, severance, part time etc.). Frustrating as it is, I for one can't rationally make my next job/career move until I now what BA's plans are.
