I work for BA at LHR, and rumour has it that various other franchise companies will soon be sharing our check in building at LGW, jubilee house, due to all the route transfers to LHR, the building is underused, and almost empty. Other than that, I have not heard rumours about a take over. I think BA is struggling to survive, let alone be in a position to take anyone over. Regarding BA being short of crew, they are recruiting internally on a 9 month contract, from various departments, that are overstaffed, and also some external recruits. Hope this helps?
