My opinion is that this is not the fault of BMED, but its the fault of a very greedy BAA.
I understand that BAA is a buisness and that profits is all that matters to them, but they are wholy to blame for this fiasco, and kind of argument could be avoided, if they just let that slot be, if BMED owns it.
And the Airbus is not running empty by the way…….you have to have at least two flying the thing :D:D
