RE:RE:Crazy proposalHey 145, the ~50/50 suggestion you made from day 1 makes perfect sense financially and of course long term. Not sure how you came up with this idea...but kudos. *
*At consistent with Alstom stock valuation of 44 Euro, it would generate $2.5B of cash for BA if BT borrowed $3B and would end up costing CDPQ no cash at all (just need to back up the debt).
Then, depending on the losses this year (which would be less if they paid $400M interest instead of $700M), how much cash BA needs to maintain for daily operations ($700M? if consistent with Textron), how much of a haircut they can give to Wall street (10%?), and deals closing (a lot of IFs), BA would need around $4B of fresh loans to 100% replace the $9.3B debt outstanding.
