Why is it the BMI board are so frightend to start another route? The success of the current IAD and ORD routes would sureley make them think that they had a good thing going for them, and it seems to be the only thing in Mainline that's making a profit at the mo!!! It looks like Bishop is not bothered any more and Reid just wants to get his retirement payout next year. At a time when other airlines are taking the plunge and having a go (and usually making profits) there are so many other options that bmi could do and make money, middle east, far east, south Africa, evan more american routes from Man. Youve got to speculate to accumulate, so take the pluge Bish, youve got a great product, I tried it myself and its definatly one of, if not the best in the sky.
