Hi BP738. Couldn't agree more.

This is not Bains first rodeo. Big business is not my area of expertise however i can't imagine Bain would not know the value of VA in a liquidation scenario which would be bugger all. What assets would there be to sell. Maybe some residual value on some of the used 737's, no real estate that i know of and that's about it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I suspect Bain will have crunched the numbers on this and given that they still seem very interested in the deal going ahead, will have a sale figure in mind that will be just marginally better than what the creditors will get in a liquidation scenario.

Cheers Hoss58
