uote=clubhouse19]Interesting...but what would have been the value of BA if BT was separated before any selling of BT ? If BT was separate entity, what would the share structure be and the value of each.
Separate entity means a spin off with its own identity while. What scenario would you envisage that BA would have the right to the proceeds from the selling of BT ?
A spin off just for the sake of selling bt...I don't get it !!

Like I said (and I was lambasted for it by the usual suspects), there was a need for an interim step where a) BT was fully separated from BA and b) it was on a solid footing financially so that it didn't matter whether the deal with Alstom closed or not. It wasn't the time for the usual Bombardier hubris and CDPQ 15% bull~!@# but what can I say? Par for the course.
