ZB stuggling for cash?? Most stupid thing I ever heard. The rest maybe true.

Monarch....cash....struggling....all in one sentence.

You're having a larrff :}

Anyone feeling ZB up would get an undignified Vaffanculo, I'm sure.

One of my favourite italian greetings.

It was only recently the ''Rumours'' were easy were looking at ZB

If you research the ownership of ZB then you'll see that in these troubled times it is they who will be on the look out for opportunities.

We're entering a period of "cash is king"

The question is do they want to remain as an airline supporting the Cosmos operation.

Junglie, likewise ! :ok:

Some things do get lost in translation though.

When I was very new to the language, I was introduced to Mrs Stoney's Italian family, one of which was her cousin with a new born.
Now, anyone knows baby is 'bambino' in italian, but in my rich Manchester accent, trying to talk to a Neapolitan family, instead of asking the mother if I could have the baby, I asked whether she would give me 'un pompino.'

Five years later, I may have been forgiven, but it will never be forgotten :}

Last I heard, BMI were in deep doodoo and not in a position to take anyone over.

But look how an even more crippled MyTravel managed to take over Thomas Cook!

Huh ?! :confused:

BMI Take Over of Monarch ?????
 

I for one hope that Monarch can & will continue well into the future, as a complete separate Airline in it's own right. However we all know that in this industry, different carriers are getting together, take overs, amalgamations etc happen almost every day & so often the Staff are the last to know.

As far as rumours are concerned, many moons ago I was in the crew room & someone announced a rumour, that Monarch were looking at the possible operation of a DC10.
The majority view of this at the time, was a resounding, Rubbish, No way, Totally out of the question etc etc. Just look what happened shortly after & what a super decision by the company too!

Regards to all

My Travel did not Take over Thomas Cook, they merged with Thomas Cook having the majority share.

In the words from the theme to "The Littlest Hobo"........
'Maybe, tomorrow...........':)

So much duff information its untrue. Hot off the press news....straight from the top Globespan are taking over Virgin. Oh hang on just heard Loganair were have put a bid in for American Airlines.

Briefing for managers today at BMI HQ.

Expect news by close of play.:oh:

Whoever wants to buy an airline, may have trouble raising capital in todays market!

JET2 to take over GSM ?

"Duff information"...???? So you'll hang your head in shame and apologise if it all comes true....no I didnt think so.:rolleyes:

Confused!
