Default British Airways-American Takeover?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...13/cnba113.xml

Of Coarse pending the foreign ownership rules get relaxed(which is unlikley). What a monster of an airline that would create! I imagine both operations would remain seperate just under BA ownership and managment... seeing as BA is a very profitable company that might not be a bad thing. Any thouhts from American pilots?

Ask the USAir Pilots how they made out when BA ownied 25% of them in the 90's. It cost USAir 3 London routes which USair MGT paid big bucks when they purchased route authority from TWA.

Maybe not... look towards the end of the Finacial Times account of BA

Maybe they will push for that JAR/JAA license conversion legislation that is stuck in Brussels on someones desk collecting dust.

Then again maybe not.
