    HI again everyone !!

    Different parts of BMI will be sold–I think you don’t need to be an insider to know that—the matter is which crucial parts go to whom ?? BA is eyeing the LHR slots–but could be a problem with the pending EU Antitrust investigation imposed earlier or not ??. VS ?? I haven’t heard a thing lately–Branson might be planning another RTW adventure and is eager to invest there than paying LH off–whatever !!
    And the third party from the Middle East–well very good hiding indeed !! Let’s wait how long it can stand behind all these European issues at the moment.

    Hi everyone!!

    So O’ Leary of Ryanair is still thinking to get Air Lingus. And using Air Lingus to get BMI–well exactly the LHR slots.

    Is it me or does it seems to much “if..” in here…..
    ” if O’Leary gets Air Lingus—-and if O’Leary has Air Lingus it would aim BMI and get more LHR slots….”

    Well–it seems to me delusion and deragement is pretty mix up here–
    isn’t it Mr. O’Leary ??
