Devil Maersk Air Birmingham .... soon to be RIP?

Heard a rumour the other day that Maersk Air ... the UK operation at Birmingham, not the Danish mother operation, is up for sale with operating losses of £1m/week.

I guess if true much of the problem lies with the way the airline business has tumbled downhill recently, but I strongly suspect that the BA link and the incompetant management which forced so many of us to abandon ship over the last 3 or 4 years must be a factor, after all the mismanagement was clearly visible for years before 1999.

Good luck to the 'workers', lets hope that the rumour is not true, and that your jobs and what's left of the pension are secure. If it is true, what hope is there of finding a buyer?
