I hear that the sale includes the aircraft, routes, slots and all employees. The route network is somewhat complementary. At the moment, no-one knows how BMI will be integrated into IAG, or for that matter into BA.
Todays results from IAG show a dip in traffic in some areas, which looks a little disturbing for the short-haul business.
How 350 pilots turning up into BA is a complete unknown. Certainly, it gives a level of uncertainty for both present and future BA pilots.
