Long-time lurker, first time poster. Flying out of MAN this evening and got chatting to a MAG employee, and apparently the Oneworld dream is not dead...

Any idea when BA are moving to T2? "They were supposed to move months ago but it should be any day now."

Any idea what the lounge situation will be? "There's going to be a few new lounges over there, they're being built at the moment. Virgin have got their clubhouse and BA will have a new one for their alliance... What's it called... Oneworld. That one."

Pretty sure I've read on this thread that this was now out of date information, but interesting that MAG people still believe this to be the case at the moment. That said, he did end with "It's Manchester, anything can happen!"
