Having just been a tiny cog in a... very large... acquisition recently I know that the securities people would be very unhappy if AC and TS "talked" to each other. Until the deal is done, they have to operate as if they are (since they are) competitors.
AC offering lease guarantees, if that is what you are getting at, would be verboten.
Which isn't to say that
Bobs International Airbus Lease Co can't pay attention to the writing on the wall and take on more risk then they would otherwise.
