BMED and the December Announcement

Hi All,

My little sources in BMED tell me that all is not well, or at least that there is some major announcement to be made in December.

BMED have supposedly:-

Delayed their upcoming a/c order and cancelled New entrant courses for the foreseeable future....one successful applicant recently received a letter stating that their application was placed on hold for six months. They would then have to resit an interview again to see if they were still suitable for the position.

There is some speculation that:-

BA may try to take them over.....although this is fairly unlikely and has been speculation for some time.

BMED may potentially lose it's franchise agreement........

BMED want to go it alone......look at how they are becoming increasingly more independent of BA....now sourcing their own DF products and mentioning BA less and less in announcements....

Perhaps, there is also the potential that BMED/GB are to join forces and form one big Franchise. Des Hetherington had only just signed a strategic agreement to pool the buying of a/c and to work much closer with Gb, so you never know.

Come on you BMED, that are up on the news.....what is being said in the Halls of Hetherington house? Are you aware that things are not all good? Were you even aware of this pending announcement in December?
