How do we know there would be fuel surcharges on awards? Just because BA charges them, or is this a UK thing? If we don't know, I'd hopefully assume no fuel surcharges, AS dumps BA for that reason, and picks up VS as a new partner.

That said, I smell a conflict: it would seem the natural, logical progression is to extend this JV between DL and VS to also include VX. How would AS take respond to that?
