Why can't people get it through their heads that, although Vueling, Iberia and BA are part of the same group (IAG), they are completely separate companies with different business models etc! I know it's a rumour network but the scaremongering on here is quite frankly something ridiculous. I think the likely things to be happening are the removal of the complimentary bar on short haul and the outsourcing of engineering etc not completely changing the way short haul operates.
Isn't it a rather lazy rumour anyway? New BA CEO is ex Vueling so BA Short Haul simply has to be turning into Vueling!
