Who the F**K are you to talk about bmi as a second rate airline, bmi has been around for years and years and will be for years to come in some form or another.
It happens to be a VERY good airline to work for with a great bunch of flight crew, cabin crew etc who work very hard to keep the company going in one for the most competitive markets in the world.
Long haul is working and I'm sure more work will be found for the 3rd A330 soon, why they do not fly east from LHR? I don't know but they must have there reasons.
I agree with scroggs that I do not see a merger with Virgin in the near future but who knows, the slots that bmi have are worth millions and everyone has there price.
GGM - next time you slagg off another airline think before you write or maybe you should just try another planet ie PLUTO
