Why on earth would BMI see an advantage in taking on that lot? BMed I could undertstand what with those juicy LHR slots for starters.
BMI didn't get the slots, BA took them for 30 million as part of the deal.
Does seem a strange move for BMI to buy Globespan if it is true, can't see how it fits with the model down at LHR.
Unless BMI are being cunning and using that to get hold of the longhaul aircraft, and the 787 order coming in a couple of years time!
