2012 interim results -- due?
Last year 28Feb saw interim results published for 2011
So fair to say we can assume same date or thereabouts for 2012 results, which neatly .... comes before the EU determination on 7 March re FR hostile takeover, profit was made no doubt avout that, also pension issue might just have moved forward in a positive agreed by all way.
So EU will have taken a very long vonsidered approach before they make a decion, IMO turning down FR but an appeal will follow for sure.
Still 2013 potentially is an even better year for EI after 3 years of well managed profit in trying times.
FR are putting forward BE as the carrier of choice for EI regional routes , recent press re BE is notpositive and contraction NOT expansion is on the cards for them.
Odd that we read FR saying how EI will have a bright future under FR, yet the first thing that will happen is early lease exits, EIR will loose routes EI will loose routes ....different messages coming from the same building
Still the next few weeks will see plenty FR noise spin and conjecture , amazing how much time and money FR are spending on what they call a small regional loss making airline with no future........
