So why has NT been at Tinytown all afternoon?

aaah the power of videoconferencing.

Why would NT be at a high level meeting? Facts are facts and the meeting is continuing at Donnington Hall this evening.

What about BMI taking on XL, much better buy than GS, after all by next april they will have 6 A330, 3 767, and about 15 737800, and a lot of very good crew and a much better all round operation than GS, they also have bases in LGW, MAN,BRS,EMA AND LC, along with some very good contracts.

Well, there's only one higher man than NT in the bmi group....and I doubt that he's sat round the table in the Belvedere !
So that's why I'd expect NT to be handing the biscuits about , I guess.

Any news?


Or is Nigel still dishing out the Bourbouns?

He's just popped down the local Bargain Booze to buy a dozen ready-mix Gin & Tonics and a party bag of Tortillas. :E

GSM/WW
 

News is there is no offer to buy GSM, never has been either.

Also GSM was never up for sale in the first place

Monthly board meeting nothing sinister. Noticed AS and PK down fron regional?

Bust
 

According to the pilots forum WW have gone bust........... Not sure about this.

Barry

Something big happening..
 

No, they have not gone bust. I've just spoken to the cleaner at Donington Hall and something big is going to be announced (rather exciting isn't it!!! - don't you just love the wait???).

...and yes, I know what it is, but if I tell - I'd be ruining everything!!

Well done bmi management!! :D

Yes I agree. Hats off to SMB for pulling this one off.

By crikey, this had better be worth the wait.

For those of you with inside knowledge, when out of interest will the average punter get to hear said news?

Oh no, they're not going to rename the airline British Midland, launch
a new livery and start re-painting the fleet all over again - are they ? :ugh:.

When can we expect this announcement then???
Come on spill the beans............you can't leave us hanging on a string!!!

All quiet...
 

So,no news yet then?this thread has gone ominously quiet in the last 18 hours after all the hoop-la of the last couple of days!Wonder what it was all about-if anything at all:confused:Maybe the rumour mill finally collapsed under its own weight!What a carry-on!People really shouldn't let these rumours spin out of control when you consider the empoyees whose lives are affected by it all!:=

Oh please groundrat.....don't make me laugh.....did you honestly think for a second that any of us up North would be affected by this rumour.....get a grip laddie....TD's too much of a control freak to have his train set taken away....haven't you been apprised of the latest Oman ACMI work??
Join Scotland's local airline and spend your life in ........anywhere but Scotland !!!
:rolleyes:

But TD appears to be no stranger to making a quick buck- if the AI/Neos/transatlantic debacle is anything to go by....

Exactly, he'll make a buck, but how many thousands of bucks has he lost through micro management and meddling in things he knew nothing about?
He's a canny scot,you don't get to become a multi millionaire without having a bit of a brain, but what he knows about running an airline, based on this and previous experience ain't too much.

you know what they say.... you want to make a million in aviation? start with 2 :rolleyes:
