Ahhh, but didn't BD PR the new Cairo flights as working in conjunction with Egyptair anyway? (I may be wrong, so happy to be corrected)

Plus look at it as an opportunity rather than a threat. Connecting traffic on BD tickets to Egyptair destinations not already covered by *A etc. Plus without being too judgemental, I suspect the BD product will stand up pretty well against Egyptair on the Cairo route.
