bmi mainline only ever seem to launch new routes at the timetable changes i.e. the different seasons. With the winter 2004/5 timetable shortly to be published and flights already available to book on the web it is very doubtful that mainline will be taking over any ww routes from MAN. Regarding the rumour of mainline lauching a MAN-DUB I also think that is doubtful, as that route was supposedly to feed the transatlantic routes and the new carribean destinations. Surely there would have been a press release by now???? Anybody else any ideas???
