..and of course, with the "former baggage handler"
having a controlling stake in the privately owned bmi he would have been well within his rights to tell them to go and whistle. Which he would surely have done.
Unlike Aer Lingus and Ryanair, which operate only one aircraft type and one engine type on their short-haul routes, BMI operates a number or different types, making it a less attractive acquisition target.
I would imagine that's news to the bmi board. I can only assume he means they would have tried to take over the whole group. Don't make me laugh!!
That has not stopped Richard Branson's Virgin running the rule over BMI
...and the point of that statement is?
Obviously this "journalist" (meant in the same derogatory tone as "baggage handler") is of the highest calibre.
