Competition benefits every one. I am no advocating KLM and BA merger. It was discussed in 2000, long before AF-KLM merger, Around the same time NW-AA merger was floated around too. BA/KLM merger isn't going to happen now, unless for some reason, AF spins KLM off, which is also unlikely.
What would be interesting to contemplate is the aviation scene in Europe in a hypothetical case when EMU crumbles and European countries adopt their former currencies.
