If Star Partners were interested they could help to offset the losses!
Not to sell bmi after all the noises about it from Frankfurt would be absurd. Gemkow has won the boardroom fight, they want rid of bmi, IAG are the favourites. If they can sort out the price, then the deal will be done. Frankly neither side can afford not to do this deal.
Having bought it, running it as bmi would be mad. They'll want to use its presence to drive down BA short haul costs. That will lead to a fight with the BA and bmi unions, so they'll have to incorporate it into BA and do a "deal" with the employees, a lot of whom will get made redundant.
