If BMI sold the BMed slots to BA, what exactly did BMI buy and why didn't BA just asset strip BMed themselves? After all nearly everything of BMed is leased therefore the main things that BMed have are established routes (albeit quite thin on certain ones), crews (again thinning with the prospect of operating 4 sector days) and the slots. Therefore unless they resold the slots on for a significant amount more than they acquired the company for, the deal seems uneconomical for BMI
