What an absolute load of tosh.
Care to elaborate on what part of this is 'a load of tosh'?
Yes, we are discussing the details of a take-over which may not happen, in which case the discussion is moot.
But there is a distinct possibility that it will happen, in which case the discussion will become very relevant. There are two groups of pilots that have very differing views on how a (reasonably likely) integration should take place. Is it a crime to discuss the potential mechanics of such an integration before we are certain it's going to take place??
