Mci have been talking about a cash injection since around March, and stated then that it would dilute share value. The sp has been dropping since, and i believe will become close to worthless if fresh cash is injected into the company. Will be a good deal for the company but a poor one for the share holders

British Airways has won a dramatic 11th hour injunction which halted a crippling strike planned by thousands of its cabin crew in a bitter row over jobs, pay and staffing levels. Mr Justice McCombe granted an order against Unite, giving a reprieve for passengers who had faced weeks of travel chaos but drawing furious criticism from unions. Unite immediately vowed to lodge an appeal against the decision, which leaders described as an "absolute disgrace". New Transport Secretary Philip Hammond, who held separate talks with both sides, said the judgment was good news for passengers. Unite members had been due to stage the first of four five-day walkouts from midnight on Monday, but the union was now urgently contacting its members to tell them to work normally. BA chief executive Willie Walsh and Unite leaders Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson spent three hours at the conciliation service Acas and adjourned shortly after the court decision. Acas said: "Discussions took place at Acas this afternoon and obviously events outside of the talks have progressed. In these circumstances, the parties have adjourned to reflect on their respective positions." Mr Walsh said he hoped the injunction gave the union a chance to pause and consider again the "very fair" offer BA had made. "There will be further talks but events have been overtaken by the court's decision," said Mr Walsh, adding that the industrial action was "unjustified". He said relations between the two sides were "strained", but he added: "I genuinely believe it is time to move on. We have an opportunity to pause and reflect and hopefully we will be able to make progress."
