I agree. Sun-Air of Scandinavia paint their planes and crew in BA colours, use the Executive Club to win some corporate contracts, use BA to publish their fares and schedules, and other than that, do their own thing. They don't even provide feed to BA mainline. It is quite a weird relationship really, it seems to be the airline equivalent of sharing a wardrobe with someone you don't really know and hardly ever see.
I don't believe that Sun-Air or Comair plan to introduce buy on board either.
In fact I don't really know Sun-Air pretend to be BA, and perhaps the relationship will be strained if Cruz wants more money out of them in exchange for the reduced-value brand he will now provide.

It's not a disaster for BA as long as they get more money... you know the BA motto of course.
