I've heard on another board that WW, Regional and mainline are all to become one happy family, at least at MAN - not sure about elsewhere. Is this likely/possible?

BMI and Lufthansa deal... Looks to be DONE!
Found this today on the Frankfurt Allegmeine website. It reads:
Now my German is a bit rusty but I translate that as roughly:
So it looks like Sir Michael has decided to bow out of the game. He has had a hell of a run and now LH looks set to completely dominate the European and North Atlantic skies with a MAJOR foothold at LHR. I bet this is exactly what Wee Little Willie was hoping would NOT happen!
FRANKFURT (Dow Jones)--Die Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Frankfurt, spricht derzeit mit der britischen Airline British Midland plc (bmi) und ihrem Hauptaktionär Michael Bishop über die künftige Struktur der Airline. Michael Bishop habe am 10. Oktober 2008 eine Option ausgeübt, die Lufthansa dazu verpflichte, 50% plus einer Aktie an bmi zu erwerben, teilte Lufthansa am Mittwoch mit. Diese Option sei Teil eines Shareholder Agreement.
FRANKFURT (Dow Jones) - The German airline Lufthansa has held talks with British Midland plc (bmi) and her main shareholder Michael Bishop about the future structure of the airline. Michael Bishop has exercised on the 10th October, 2008 an option which obliges Lufthansa to acquire 50% plus a stock in bmi, as informed by Lufthansa on Wednesday. This option is a part of a shareholder Agreement.

LH announced Q3 financial report. On page 25 of the pdf a little bit more.

Looks like BA are ****** then. Shame that UK plc didn't have the political muscle to be able to delay Open Skies. Yet again , it looks like UK companies will be the losers in another EU mandate.I wonder if it would have all gone through if it had been CDG that everyone had wanted to get into? I understand that more and more of BMI's engineering work is going East to be done by Lufthansa Technik. What price UK jobs ?
Just read the message on the BMI intranet - Lufthansa will take 50% plus one share. Changeover expected mid January 2009. No news yet about Regional or Baby...............

LH to take controlling share in bmi - it is official. Better get the German phrase book ou!
29 October 2008
Dear Colleagues,
As many of you are aware from press speculation and comment, our two principal shareholders, Sir Michael Bishop and Lufthansa, have certain options over Sir Michael's majority shareholding in bmi, which were agreed when Lufthansa first became a shareholder in bmi in 1999.
On 10 October Lufthansa and Sir Michael Bishop on behalf of the BBW Partnership Ltd exercised an option which requires Lufthansa to purchase 50 per cent plus one share in British Midland PLC (bmi). It is expected that completion of the transaction will take place in mid January. In the meantime the Board and the management of the company will remain unaltered, but it is anticipated that alterations to the Board to reflect the new majority shareholding will take place on or around the date of the transfer of ownership.
This is a major change for bmi as Sir Michael has held a controlling interest in the airline since 1978. This brief note cannot adequately reflect his contribution to the company since joining the airline in 1964.
Discussions have already taken place with Lufthansa as to the future shape and direction of the bmi group. It is also worth remembering that Lufthansa have had representatives on our Board for the last nine years and therefore have a good view of all aspects of our business already. However, those discussions will now intensify and it would be wrong for me to prejudge the conclusions at this stage. Personally I am pleased that we are becoming a member of the Lufthansa family in this challenging time for our industry.
As soon as I have further details you will of course be advised. In the meantime please do not let the media interest or internal speculation about what may or may not happen as a result of the change in ownership distract you from the job in hand which remains just important regardless of who the shareholders are.

this is a shame
Virgin + BMI would have been a better tie-up and better for competition at LHR particularly for transatlantic routes. LH will just begin to slowly asset strip beginning with WW and regional.
