Presumably BAC hold route licences on behalf of FDX? If so, I'd guess that ACL would be up for grabbing them rather than trying to buy out BAC. From what I know of the so-called management down there, they (ACL) would be doing a good job if they left the management team behind in Bonehurst Road. Many good people have come and gone over the years. The ops team was or could have been well worth hanging onto. Led by a good bloke at the top who was always getting his ears bashed by MF despite the cock ups that MF caused himself. Blame culture ruled in the offices and will continue to do so while MF is still there. The guy (MF) clearly needs to move on and catch up with the real world of aviation if BAC is to succeed. But that ain't gonna happen is it ?
