BA looking to buy SAS?
Are the chaps looking into purchasing the scandis? Rumors are floating around... Will ze germans say nein and pull out or is a bidding war in the making?
If they do get bought, prepare for the worst ****storm in aviation as they try to make a merged senioritylist

Isn´t buying and merging two different things? I don´t believe BA (if there is any truth to this) have any intention integrating SAS into BA.
LH bought Swiss, don´t think the lists have merged.

Agreewith Fatman here. Merging 2 different companies and company cultures would be hell, but buying a company (with aircraft, staff, ground equip etc) is merely a change in ownership and shouldn`t affect seniority lists. Just look at SAS and Spanair. SAS owns Spanair, but I don`t think they have a common list.

The cultures and the personalities of the perfect airline be damned if the bean-counters sniffs a dime.
Perhaps only Lufthansa subscribes to the purity law these days. ?
Cathay Pacific swore up and down a few years ago that they would never fly a twin engine airplane across the ocean or employ a chinaman in the cockpit.
Guess what..?

Things change for sure TD Next thing, in an effort to try to save fuel costs, might be shutting down 2 engines on a 4 engine jet when within driftdown range Of course I`m kidding, but stupid times means stupid measures
