Hi everyone, just wondering what BA's plans were this summer regarding fleet similarities at BHX? Are the Airbuses coming back or are they keeping the RJ-100's?
What happend to the Airbus pilots when they moved the fleet to EGLL? Did they all transfer to the RJ-100?
Many Thanks
Dan

Very unlikely imo; A319 fleet to be expanded to Gatwick is the only rumour I've heard. Likely that some displaced B737s(500/300s) could go to BHX/MAN.

MD11 is correct and I would not bank on seeing any 737's as we are starting to stand them down, at present to (737) white tails awaiting engines at LHR to be returned to the Lessor, never seen them so clean.

Rj100s staying at MAN and BHX for forseeable - very long leases I think. 319s start to go to LGW next Winter as 321s arrive at LHR
