Makes me wonder how BA crews would respond to WW deciding to outsource the LCY-New York or Orly-Newark routes to PrivatAir.

Dear Willy, you don't know us all by name but we are extremely interested in why you are chatting with Fritz today. We take a great interest in your company and thrive at any opportunity to throw some mud in your direction. Indeed, may we congratulate you for giving us hours of fun with the T5 debacle.
So, if you would be so kind, how about registering with Danny's mates, getting a user name and spilling the beans on our forum.
Yours
The Prooners.

And of course the difference between our bmi friends getting on board with BA -v- getting on board with Lufty would be that under UK law, seniority lists would have to be integrated (in the BA case), whereas under German employment law, (and an arguably stronger Union) it will most definitely be "welcome to zee bottom of zee list".

Guys, it`s pretty simple.
BA and LH are the 2 most profitable airlines in Europe.
Topic of the day was how to split up the remaining European airlines
Face it,besides AF/KLM most of them are in serious trouble. SAS, Alitalia, Austrian, Olympic, Iberia and so on......
Happy ldgs

You mean BA will pick up AZ, IB and evtl. Olympic. WW fixing AZ, can't be worse than Terrible 5.
Or will Olympic finally go to Ukrainian or PIA?
This means that Lufty will pick up BMI, Brussels, AUA and SAS ?
As a result I can see a significant improvement in coffee quality on BA flights.

Lufthansa buy BMI and selling remains to BA
Have heard from some inside chaps that Lufthansa is definitely taking it's option on BMI towards the end of the year.
They are taking some of BMI's LHR slots and they are currently in talks with BA as to a sale price for the rest of the operation (excluding Baby and Regional). Does anybody have details on this ?

BMI - Laufthansa
It was reported a while ago that Laufthansa were going to exercise their options with bmi. I understand when the comment was made it was regretted due to the reaction caused.
My thoughts are; Yes, Laufthansa have options and yes I,m sure they will excersise them at some point in the future. When? Only a few key players know the answer to that question and they are certainly not going to talk about it outside of their group. So all talk about bmi and Laufthansa is just speculation. Therefore it is not worth losing sweat over rumours.
Ref bmi baby and Regional - What value do they hold for Laufthansa? I would have thought the LHR slots are the driver for any future decision.
My thoughts only!

By this do you mean that BA would be offered some slots not to oppose this merger. Would not Virgin also want a sweeterner and I fear BA may have more slots than what they know what to do with this winter and will have a jobsworth using there own. There are always slots for sale at LHR and this winetr will be a good time to buy as for once they may not be so expensive.
