British Airways seems to be struggling with its attempts to sleep with its family members.
The Qantas proposal seems to be highest on the agenda but the big hidden question is whether the Oz Government will allow the merger to go ahead without a concession on the Transpac routes. If they do - then you can be sure that the WTO would have something to say about that and for sure Emirates and Singapore Airlines will be screaming blue murder.
New Qantas CEO Joyce (another Irishman running an Anglo speaking Carrier) is pouring a little cold water on the BA story. However he is throwing buckets on a 3 way. There is no way - in his opinion that the Kangeroo is looking to consummate anything with the Spanish. So Iberia is getting even more PO'd waiting. It will probably end in tears.
In all of this AA is remarkably quiet. Perhaps to counter the other noise AA should put out a counter slogan to Virgin Atlantic's famous "BA-AA No Way" paint job with one like this: "AA-BA Some Way Please"
Cheers
