In Reply To: You are going to believe what you are going to believe but the sale of BE is unlikely. Frankly, the company has lost roughly $3B off its market cap and we just aren't attractive to buyers. You would need a lot of lipstick for this pig. As for the closing of offices, it is inevitable and necessary. There is no justiafiable reason to keep open offices that remain vacant. Not only that, huge offices imply huge swings in chargability, which BE simply cannot support. If you really want to drive profits to the bottom line, you need to cut off the fat and plush facilities throughout the US are things of the past. Look for the spoke and wheel philosophy, with major hubs as home offices.

It's called being bought at a "discount". Duh!
