Leaving bmi as a "stand alone" company within the IAG group rather than integration with BA might well be a workable remedy.
It lost millions as a 'stand alone' company. It still lost millions when it was slightly integrated with DLH.
I am not suggesting that the present version of bmi carry on business as usual, but a restructured slimmed down bmi operating the contentious routes (ie those that a "competition " case
could be made for) could help IAG argue that there is still some form of competition for BA at LHR.
Longer term bmi would eventually be totally integrated, maybe over the course of a few years and more gradually than the current integration plan envisages.
