OK, thank you Rudi. Given that, what do you thnk is the answer to Celestar's question? If you can't answer that for reasons of confidentiality, does Swissair have any specific reason or obligation why it should not leave Qualiflyer?

I do thank you for your patience - I am just trying to come to terms with this complex and interesting issue.
