Unless you are a large shareholder of IAG of course, in which case it would be fair to question the business merit of this decision. Otherwise you are just wasting energy trying to find reason in something, that you do not have the data to make any good conclusion about.
Eumh, I'm just contributing some thoughts, on a public forum. I assume it is still allowed to have opinions on things and share them on forums, which seem to exist precisely for that reason? I will indeed move away, in fact I am somewhat excited about trying out new things! Meanwhile, I am fascinated by how irrational business can be and am sharing my thoughts - you're free not to read them!

However no one on this forum can give that insight. No one here has access to the relevant business data that would be required to understand this. Even if someone does have access, it's unlikely they are at liberty to share.
I am not taking anything personally, just contributing to the debate. And I have no expectation that there will be some magical insight coming my way...
