Stephen, Spoke to SMU and BEAV today. SMU has never been in the "hype" business. SMU indicated BA asked them to make the release, they even gave some input as to the verbage. In speaking with BEAV they suggest that BA denies ever even authorizing the announcement that SMU made. The references you made to a "minority-owned subsidiary" are accurate but if you look back to previous announcements SMU has made, they have previously named that division by name when they had deals. BEAV was clearly irate at the attention SMU has recieved, that came through the phone loud and clear. SMU maintains they have a contract. I expect to see an announcement in the near future that reads "SMU has 100% of all A-1000 seats on BA airplanes". A-1000 is just the SMU brand name. If you reread the BEAV announcement they point out that they have 100% of their own "brand name" seats for BA deal. What do you make of all this fuss? If you have the opportunity you might call the IR firm for BEAV, I believe the fellow I spoke with was Jay Jacobson. The million dollar question is what plane do the SMU seats go on. Noblesse had interesting insight into the situation. I hope he shares it with the thread. Have a great night.
