The EU has approved the BA alliance with American Airlines.
Thanks, I didn't realise the reduced agreement had gone through - but it's not the killer alliance they needed.
I'm not too worried regarding what has or not happened in the past. BA is obviously attempting to take firm control of their airline and deal with many difficult issues.

Of interest to me is what effect this will have on the future.
Y-e-e-e-s, to a point but it is all that has happened in the past that will force the future. Throughout the pax discussions in PPRuNE since I have been participating, many folks (I shall not attempt a %) have thought that BA is past it's prime. During this dispute so much has come to light that shows just how much the previous generations of mgmt and unions have laid traps for the future (wittingly or otherwise).

I agree that the mgmt are now grasping the nettle but I suspect that it is too little, too late. I do not enjoy saying these things - but I speak as I see and think.
