True, but the one thing BMI lack is potential of future with based A/C in the mainland. That, BEE have. Q400s are not even that far behind the ERJ (speed-wise) when compared to the ATRs which is what was in the running for it previously with STK. BMR's punctuality and reliability has also been deplorable at times during their tenure, although for the past while it has been better. If BEE were in for the running it would be hard to turn down a well well established and respected airline in the NI market, and one who I would see as a great future partner in other routes (providing they find themselves in a more stable situation.)
