I fear HZ is absolutely right. BACX will be closed down / given away rather than sold. Pity in many respects - including my job - because we are intrinsically cheaper to operate and hence more profitable than mainline as such.
(excluding Club and First long haul, but not much of that around over the pond these days!)
Trouble is, we are far weaker in union terms, pathetically weak in home grown management terms (all squabbling over their own futures as 'BA' managers) and unfortunately under the cosh of 'baby' mainline managers all trying to prove their virility by competeing to see who can swing the axe hardest.
Maybe, and its a big maybe, there may be something left at MAN/BHX to sell or give away, but don't hold your breath. If the thread about Mytravel is true, there could be the biggest surplus of qualified pilots around in living memory in the near future.
Xmas approaches, so doubtless so does an announcement again.
