^ This. I'd bet that many of us here are banking on OZ being here at least a year from today (and in *A), given that there is no imminent (like, within 4 weeks) expectation of US approval, and then the formal merger having to take place. Big ships turn slowly.

I am booked in OZ biz next March and need OZ to last long enough to re-up my Diamond status by middle of next year. People still hanging around here are probably in similar boats to you and I, OP.

But very few people in this forum probably have any actual insider information on the situation, and those that do are highly unlikely to risk careers to spill the beans on FT.
