The talks were with BA and LH. It appears as though BA has currently no interest as they are concentrating on their own survivability at the time.
“Lufti” has shown interest on a “merger” of Swiss, however not in its current status. The AOC, as mentioned earlier is no problem; on the contrary it may bear benefits. The problem, as I had understood them, was that the size of Swiss is as of yet way too large. The pilot dispute, the dual pilot’s corps is also an issue. Hence the suggestion that LH will wait until LX is down yet again so that the deal can be fitted to LH needs.
