Future of MA?
 

Today the online version of TravelInside reports that Mr. Boris Abramowitsch has sold MA to Wneschconombank (VEB), a Russian bank. It further reports that VEB is making this deal conditional to the feasibilty of the restructuring plan for MA. This plan shall include a strategic partnership with SU. All this information from the brief online article (http://www.travelinside.ch/travelins..._objectID=9199 ;all in German)

This raises a series of issues:
- Is MA technically broke? How safe is it to buy tickets on MA stock?
- Will MA eventually leave OW when entering partnership with SU - or perhaps the other way around (SU to join OW)?

OW with or without MA or SU - who cares ...
 

Apparently, both a possible departure of MA from OW or a possible future membership of SU are of no relevance whatsoever. And there are no tickets on MA stock anyway ...

Needless to say I'd wish to see SU joining. OW really lacks a Russian connection.
