Default BA's new airline

BA to launch new airline (to compete with EOS???) Slightly different product but it looks like it might be aimed at EOS (and Silverjet)...

Here's what "Open Skies" is going to bring us...good idea or bad idea???

I'm rooting for EOS to win this battle but BA is one BIG company...

The price of the ticket will bring to bear as to whether BA's scheme will work or not.

For example if one travels from the US to the UK on the 17th of January;

The price of a ticket on EOS varies from $1,725 to $2,550, (depending which flight you take) for premium class service.

Silverjet's fare is $2,290.

BA will charge you $5,208 for a business class ticket.

Perhaps if BA's fares were in line with their competition, then they would regain those passengers lost to the competition.

Dollar for dollar, product for product, and convenience... EOS has my vote.

Eos's full fare ticket price was supposed to be $6,500, what ever happened to that?
