What do you think of this now 260 seems a long way off...or maybe not :o)

Volsung
I think it will be - in time -. The only way it can survive is by being the last one standing. As Buffet said "If Wilbur Wright had failed to get off the ground hundreds of billions of dollars would have been saved" :-)

I think BA should be nationalised along with the banks.

[molecule] 04/5/2010 16:07

back to 1 pound. About time.

Brave man with election on Thursday...why risk it before the GE??

Just dipped my toe at 219. I reckon this is good for a comeback in the next day or two.

All this strike, and pension nonsense is priced in IMO. It's a good company, and gradually things will improve.

[alphorn] 04/5/2010 10:32

Exactly; followed by several other privatised businesses.

If you include the pension deficit BA are insolvent. In the US they would go into chapter 11 I think and all agreements (with anybody) would go down the toilet

[exbacrew] 04/5/2010 09:42

Any predictions as to where this will end up today?

[exbacrew] 04/5/2010 08:58

An amusing little film.....

Yes he offered their travel back but without length of service.Effectively meaning they would be bottom of the pile.

Pivotal week for BAY.
Result of the strike ballot, trading statement Thursday and if the Conservatives win the election no third runway at Heathrow.

You would maybe not have realised from the unite statements but Willie offered them their travel back last week, all be it with a few changes. A lot of people liked the idea of WW saying you won't get it back, so by giving in he risked looking weak to the people who supported him. Unite threw it back in his face saying not with the changes, we want it back exactly how it was.

there is only one way this is going and its up

[cat100] 03/5/2010 20:52

airports in ireland are closed tomorrow volcano strikes again

[wow400] 30/4/2010 11:45

Yup, more the pity I say.

After 9/11, SARS, some bad winters, volcano's & industrial unrest - I'm surprised that BA is still going!

[exbacrew] 30/4/2010 11:36

Thanks wow400 - this is going to rumble on I fear

[wow400] 30/4/2010 11:22

The proposal is here :

and you can read Tony Woodley's bit here:

Alphorn - it's all very very messy. I can see what you are saying - If I were BA I would just want to close the whole scheme down - however I think they are governed by some antiquated agreement which means they cannot do that.

[alphorn] 30/4/2010 10:59

exbacrew - exactly, someone else will pick up the tab - if and, big if, they have the funds.
