Shafted:

bmi is never looking more than 6 months ahead - toronto is only for 6 months, carribean is a winter route
The Caribbean start date is more than six months away, so that rather defeats your argument.

They are, as I understand it, safeguarding the jobs created by the long haul operation while looking for long term route opportunities.

do you not think they would be looking to aquire more aircraft if they truly wanted to make a long haul statement.??
There are, or were, options for up to 12 A330's. How many more would you like, and where would you operate them in the absence of the Transatlantic approval out of LHR?

It is embarrassing to read the press releases about us being the "no 1 long haul operator from the regions"
That is what is known as accentuating the positive, a concept which you and Mr Carn are clearly not familiar with. You are more in the "good news doesn't sell newspapers" camp.

By the way, why are you two still working for bmi? Not good enough to get a job with a decent airline????
