RE: Takeovers. Carolyn McCall right up until the other day has always insisted that they anticipate organic growth. They apparently 'half heartedly' looked at bmi but LHR was never going to be an option. There is however a couple of rumours around the company. That said the board would never really admit anything such as that but by the same token rumours are always rife in this industry as we always know.
Showing naievety and inexperience here.....
Never comment on takeovers until they happening and you 100% sure can get full board / shareholder approval which is unlikely given Stelios.
Ms McCall is commenting because she feels she has to rather than deflecting and saying nothing at all.
