The route is confirmed and taking over from AC with an all economy cabin <albeit an optional upgrade to the New Economy>but no business class,so no chefs are being recruted.The aircraft has already been re-configured.
Not entirely true. The aircraft in question is currently operating the BZZ-ASI-MPA contract for the MOD. It was reconfigured before it went but only to put more econ seats in - business class is still there. However, the config might change again before any new routes start which is very possible as it currently has 60 business seats - far too many. If the start date of early May is correct, that would work out as the MOD contract ends early April, giving them a month to reconfigure.
Chefs
are being recruited at the moment - 3 of them are on their initial courses.
the bmi business service is supposed to be very good
Correct - it is! One of our saving graces, largely thanks to the cabin crew.
Fingers crossed this actually happens!
