Well.... we'll see.
While the thought of a VA partnership certainly may have some negative, or at best different short term implications for us, it might be prudent to expand your view of the industry globally and consider who else might possibly interested buying VA and getting a major foothold in the LHR-JFK/East Coast market and the long term implications of that
If there is anything to this and DAL pulls it off it may in fact be a major strategic win for us in the long run.
