As IAG has bought BMI as a going concern
Really? If BMI were a going concern, why were Lufthansa so keen to sell it so cheaply? If BMI were a going concern, why was BA shovelling in cash, £60M IIRC, before the purchase to keep it afloat. And what has the use of BMI by BA pilots for staff travel got to do with it? Are you saying that if Virgin went belly up, IAG should offer their staff travel rights into retirement because BA staff occasionally used them for holidays? It's not BA staff with their head in the clouds!
