BMI will be swallowed up by BA
Having spent that much cash on getting LHR slots to serve the Far East, why would IAG then wind up BD with it's substantially lower cost base than BA?
Seems to me they could use the BD crew on routes where margin is very tight and make them slightly more profitable.
Strikes me it's much like the QF/JQ issue in AU - QF have a very high cost base and appear to be trying to switch routes to the lower cost base JQ.
I'd be more worried if I was at BA right now...
