Another Ppruner that's going to have to eat his hat!!
Your argument is deeply flawed, whilst FR model requires constant expansion WW do not, least you forget they are now part of the LH family which is the EU's most profitable airline group and have over 700 aircraft, WW pays it's share of engineering and back office functions not the other way around !
With a group fleet of 60 plus classic's do you really think we are unaware of AD's in the pipe line and dont have plan to address these issues?
Have a read back of the baby thread and every 6 months someone makes the same comment about "willing to bet they won't be here next year" history says otherwise!!
The ZB rumour more likely a smoke screen for acquiring LS it has been pointed out many times that there is nothing to buy at WW the aircraft are all leased all property is now with in Dony Hall and the name bmibaby could hardly bf used by anyone else ?
I think the Summer 2012 release will show you that they will very much be around next year, but thanks for your concern
