BALHR you need to lose this fixation with BA getting their hands on EI's
slots at LHR it will not happen. There are no sound economic reasons for EI to sell their golden slots as has been explained many times.
The reason why BA is circling round EI's LHR slots is that they are one of the largest slot holders at the airports, beyond them and VS, there is not much left...

EI is slightly better off if they keep then, but they will have to deal with FR, hence I am suggesting that they sell the LHR slots, deal with the FR problem and still make money on LON-IRE...

There's also no need. EI don't need to sell, BA don't need to buy.
BA seem to think otherwise....

Besides, they need them to better compete with its rivals in Europe, North America and the Middle East

Of course the real solution lies neither with BA or EI, but with Westmister...
