Hmmmmm
I think they do not care about selling chepaer than Delta, anyway they are proposing good rates as Lufthansa ans US airways, for instance, do all the year except in summer. Lufthansa propose here in France very attractive rates too.
they make their money with these flights that every american must take at Roissy. And at this game, they are far better than KLM in AMsterdam, BA in London, or Lufthansa in Frankfort....
So, even an economix slowdown may not improve our situation.
Sure that a deal from a competitor in Europe would, but who ? I do not see really one. Swissair and Alitalia are in discussions, but are they really a strong partner as Air France is ? Who could be this partner ? I donot see any.
