The BW saga is history and not really relevant to what is happening, or going to happen, to Astraeus now. Looking at the sale of a charter airline and the previous examples of such sales, they can be very sobering for the staff involved. I do remember long ago the staff of Orion at MAN got unpleasant treatment. I have seen a lot of optimism in the company about what may happen if taken over by another charter airline. I think my knowledge of what happened in the past in such takeovers leads to more caution, not that caution will help. It seems to be viewed as a possible way to get into another operator, as well it may, but it could also be after demotion onto the new seniority list!
