I suspect this is more for alignment reasons with BA/IB than anything else, but it&amp;#39;s not good for long haul.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7316954781933936983/8224023715019925681/comments/default/2564901996569545359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7316954781933936983/8224023715019925681/comments/default/2564901996569545359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marksage.net/2011/09/avios-says-adios-to-ba-exec-ib-plus-and.html?showComment=1315383101825#c2564901996569545359' title=''/><author><name>Mark Sage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08437767598291122765</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_71M095aI6LM/TOaWLee1LPI/AAAAAAAAABY/i6KrK_Xvjp8/S220/surf2.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marksage.net/2011/09/avios-says-adios-to-ba-exec-ib-plus-and.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316954781933936983.post-8224023715019925681' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7316954781933936983/posts/default/8224023715019925681' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1641313732'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316954781933936983.post-1101163702610989606</id><published>2011-09-04T11:20:45.406-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-04T11:20:45.406-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It is disgusting that the decision was made to giv...</title><content type='html'>It is disgusting that the decision was made to give such little notice.
