Therefore dont be surprised when comparitively new aircraft get broken up well before you expect, and also dont be surprised to see Tristars and DC10s flying for many more years.

I won’t quote the whole thing but interesting read – thanks for sharing!

I think the debate’s over until the poll is published?

Of course I did, I think i’ve seen LSAA and LSAB enough times…

😀 You don’t say !! 😀

I agree, however GO was taken over by easyJet and its (GO) parent was a rich airline indeed 🙂

By the time EZY took-over GO, GO had been sold out to a private equity company, and hadn’t been part of BA for a while.

Oh, Grey Area, photos – and you a mod too! 😀
Seriously nice photo of the Etihad tail though!

I like when airlines get taken over/merged, yet both entities keep their brands. For instance, LH took over CX and yet CX are still based in ZRH and retain their colours. In the long run, I think this will be good for that airline, seeing as their previous brand, SwissAir, went by the wayside, as well. I’m hoping LH buys Olympic and retains that brand and base, as well. Very wishful thinking on my part, however.

Cathay Pacific based in Zurich?!?

You must mean LX 😉

Nice – they’re looking good.
