From next summer, BA plans to launch a new service between the U.S. and major business centers in Continental Europe, flying reconfigured 757s from its existing fleet. While he is guarded about the fine details, "getting a new airline up and running in a little over 12 months," as Walsh sees it, "is a great test of how quickly we can respond." And if things take off, he's even promising to share the acclaim...
