I've read the articles, the commentaries, as well as the analysis here on FT, and all I can say is - yawn!
Swiss is in deep $hit and this only prolongs their suffering. LHR slots are some of the most valued assets in the industry, and they're giving up 8 out of 14? Whooopie!
I suppose that this was mainly a defensive move, keeping LX out of LH's paws. That would have been a better fit, IMO. But what do I know.
