rampboy767,,, there has been talk of bmir opening at SOU and BRS plus others but its never come to nowt. Unless you have seen requests for slots at BRS then its probably just hot air.

Is there any news or rumors about BMI starting up from BRS
I just wonder whether a similar tactic might be used by BMI/LH at the likes of LBA etc to attempt to switch interlining traffic into LH hubs in germany and make up for loss of connections at LHR...assuming they'd pull the UK-LHR domestics post takeover...?

MSN 1690

Hang on he's forgotten the other mid haul aircraft GMEDN, GMIDO, GMIDT and GMIDY. Nice try Bish but those MED aircraft are just the original BMED batch!!!

Skipness, you have managed to get 8 aircraft from 6 msn’s
Ill take a guess and say the G-MID… 321s don’t have ACT . No use to us.
Yes it is curious that MEDN, the only 321 in bmi colours is not coming over.

Just a SLF here, but I got a question on how the crews do the LHR-ALA-FRU run. Do they overnight in FRU and then back to LHR or overnight in ALA then do the FRU run, overnight in ALA and back to LHR?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Shame BMI management had to lie about the reasons for pulling the Manchester routes.
Flew them for 7 years and only now they dont make money???
Nothing to do with them hedging their fuel at very high prices?
Never mind ooop North monkeys dont do much long haul at the pointy end of the plane, all too stupid and poor.

The US/Caribbean leisure routes have never made money, and market saturation caused ORD to go, nothing to do with northerners! When you see what money can be made going to CAI and AMM from LHR, our main base, it makes perfect sense. bmi is a business and it has to survive like the rest, and flying to the US from MAN is not going to help when it makes a loss.

Who from the daily mail or beardy himself? What on earth do VS have to do with bmi? I'll tell you what, NOTHING! The 330s are going on the mid haul and Saudi routes where they will be very overstretched!! Clearly this thread is becoming full of sciolists, ridiculous people who think they know things and don't actually have a clue!!!!
