It seems to vary and difficult to know how many are scheduled in service in any one time. Some sample checks: -
Monday in November I found 1 x 195 operating BHX - AMS and MXP then Tuesday and Wednesday just BHX-MXP and gone by Christmas. There are at least 4 x 175's at BHX (EDI, DUS, STR CDG) but sometimes 5 based in the period before Christmas and 5 at Manchester. This seems to carry on into the New Year and then appears to be 4 at MAN and 4 at BHX - all 175's.
BHX-CDG, AMS, STR & DUS first thing and MAN - CDG, CDG, SOU & DUS first thing in February
Certainly not a definitive list but the best I could do in a short space of time.
There is some very odd scheduling with Berlin not operating on a Monday which is beyond reason and not quite so odd Milan doesn't operate on a Thursday. Then of course some BHX based aircraft operate to Doncaster from Amsterdam and Belfast. The latter resulting in a BHD-BHX inbound at 08.05 on Monday and the next one 13.55, which for what is a predominantly inbound business market seems odd to say the least and thus surrendering most of the market to easyjet. Luckily for BHX U2 do have two morning inbound flights on a Monday which should cater for the usual demand. I really hope it is work in progress.
