RE: Virgin in talks to sell Heathrow slots to BA

Why would Branson do this? He is always quick to jump on BA’s every move, and now he is selling them even more slots to further increase their huge Heathrow presence? Why not use those slots for other routes other than Athens? And why cancel the Athens route? There’s no way that route was not profitable, especially now during peak summer time when all the Brits are flocking to the hot spots. He should get the ex Sabena slots, and keep the other ones as well. If anything, sell them to somebody that needs them more, and not to BA. As far as the BMI guy goes, this guy needs to work with Branson, not go against him. These 2 guys need to team up against BA. That’s just my opinion.
