KLM is not going to buy GO . BA wanted £300 million , the price fell to £100 million and still KLM thought it was too much. GO has yet to make a profit and has had difficulty sustaining low fares over the winter - they are now marketing themselves on destination and value not price.

A merger wouldn't have issues - these are much smaller airline than EASYJET and Ryanair. They get a lot of attention because of their parent companies but they are both unknown quantites GO may turn out to be BA's Continental Lite.

Regarding Ryanair's controversial website - they paid something like £10,000 ($15000) for it and sometimes it shows but it has saved them millions.
