Does this mean the CWL management is unhappy with bmibaby?

After all, if ThomsonFly did set up at CWL they surely would not ignore baby's profitable ALC and AGP routes. I can't see there would be enough pax to go round for two operators on these routes, although other routes such as Venice and Barcelona (not flown from CWL at present) might be operated as well.

If what you say is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, I get the feeling that CWL must be disappointed with baby who don't seem to have really kicked on with the development of their route network that was hinted at when they set up at CWL.

On a general note with ThomsonFly, can anyone tell me whether the scheduled part of the airline (as operated out of Coventry) will be operated separately from what is currently Britannia? Or will it be one airline with pilots etc being liable to switch from one section of the airline to the other - I realise there would be a degree of conversion training because of the different types of aircraft.
