The only thing BMI had to offer of any value whatsoever was the slots
As far as big business is concerned I could not agree more. The pilots who fly those slots and existing BA slots are as worthless to the big business as each other which is why they must end up as one cohesive group after all the hot air has been expelled around the meeting table. For big business the existing BA pilots are just as worthless as the existing bmi (shortly) to be ex bmi pilots. The slots are the only thing that matters.
