On a side note, I have been sitting here today pondering RA's comments about LHR. I have been focusing on OneWorld and BA, but his words could also be an indication that they want to go ahead and buy Singapore's 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic. Now that would require financing, and that would precipitate a desire for a quick deal with the pilots.
