That rumour about airbus to baby is simply not true. The sale of some slots to BA is a worry as it hints at a breakup of the bmi mainline although I feel a wider deal is in the offing over the coming weeks. I'm hearing that Virgin will be taking the mainline bmi operation and joining the Star Alliance with BA getting some more slots. Who knows really except those at the very top of the relevant companies and Morgan Stanley, it's all conjecture.
