It is SAS & Luffty that holds back bmi growth (and baby and regional) and some of his half witted managers as well........
Don't understand the first part of that. How does LH and SAS covering bmi's enourmous losses of the last few years constitute a hindrance?

Are LH and SAS blocking the longhaul bids from LHR?

How exactly are they holding back growth?

Where would that growth be?



The second part I agree with. bmi survives despite management incompetence on an epic scale, from the top to the bottom at Toad Hall. Heathrow slots have been the only thing preventing the whole sorry mess from sinking into oblivion since the early eighties. Now that the lo-cost carriers are neutralising LHR shorthaul profitability, we're seeing the true colours of bmi.......a loss making shambles.
