Why do I get the feeling a certain Michael O'Leary is taking more than a passing interest in this.
He wants a premium long haul carrier, where he can charge lots for the front cabins and next to nothing in economy, using staff on lower wages and conditions.
MOL will get rid of the short haul euro routes, they will fly FR.
MOL can then sell the slots at LHR & LGW vacated by the demise of the euro ops to the highest bidder.
The buying of BA by MOL would be cost neutral, with the redundancies and the pension fund shortfall being funded from small change in MOL's back pocket.
Bye, Bye BA.
.....and the Australian dinosaur airline will go a similar way.
Sad i know, but that's evolution.
