Rolls Royce has standing offer to buy Taesl

[The Dissident]

I have learned that RR has a standing offer to buyout AA in Taesl. IF american is true to form they usually sell a division after it has made a profit for a few years in row. With the increase in third party work and the unrealistic expectations of managemanet concerning engine outputs i.e 70 Trent overhauls and 340 RB overhauls expected this year will they divest themselves of this partnership. Rolls is having trouble with parts at all three partnerships Hasel, Sasel, and Taesl. I wonder if they are starving us of parts on purpose to see who can produce the most engins with the least amount of parts.

They will try anything to get rid of Dan Cunningham!(The highest paid Mechanic at AA!!!)

A 'standing offer to buy' often means one partner hopes the other partner is otherwise strapped to the point it needs to sell out.

The OP didn't say/know anything about how long the possible RR offer has been 'standing'. Thus it could have been put forth back in the darker days of the AA finances; but I certainly don't see this being the case now.

IIRC, the standard in joint business ventures is for the other party(s) in the partnership have a standing offer to buy out the other partner(s) and/or first right of refusal to purchase another partner's stake.
