Ollie Onion:
how can BA cherry pick who it keeps on using the bases as criteria?
I would be very careful making assumptions like that! I am not at all sure what, if any, BA's involvement in these strategic decisions is? Are you?
This deal does not complete for another week. At
that point
IAG will become the owners of BMI. At some point in the following 5 months BMI will die and become part of BA.
My point is
IAG are the buyers here,
NOT BA!
IAG are
NOT an airline, and if you want to see how they operate, take a look at the Iberia Express or Iberia Strike threads!!
look you:
There already was an eagerness on the part of the BACC to engage with the BMICC on the issue of integration, but for reasons with which I have some sympathy, it was not possible to reach common ground at that time.
The BACC are no longer 'officially' able to contribute to the current consultations. Though I suspect we can be confident we will not be disappointed with activities behind the scenes?
