KLM to cooperate with Easyjet instead of competing?

Hi all,

Two weeks ago, following newsmessage was published in the papers:
KLM gaat prijsvechten - Binnenland | Het laatste nieuws uit Nederland leest u op Telegraaf.nl [binnenland]

In short:
KLM is going to fight the LCC's flights from AMS to major European tourist destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona and Milan by agressively lowering fares.

My question, isn't it better for KLM to cooperate with the Low Cost Carriers (i.e. Easyjet) on their common routes? Perhaps some kind of code sharing agreement where Easyjet is acting as a feeder?

Looking forward to your opinions!

Jeroen
