EI move to *A possible?
Looks like LH might buy a stake in EI, in which case EI might leave OW...

I could be so lucky.

Interesting. But do you think any airline right now (especially a flag carrier like LH or AF) would be willing to take a stake in another carrier given the current climate and layoffs?

Does * really need MORE airlines in Europe? I vote no. We already have SK,LH,BD,OS,VO and NG.

Yeah, I doubt BD would be very happy with EI in *A, and I think LH already owns a stake in them. Perhaps EI would end up in Skyteam? Anything other than BA buying them, please!

Give them to NZ - that should make BD happy on a number of levels
