EARTH would BA want to repurchase an outfit that's leaking red ink? And why would they want to import an industrial relations problem of this magnitude?

2 - Why weren't BA's management aware of the situation at GG and why didn't they intervene to avoid it?
3 - Why didn't BA have contingency plans in place?
