Plus, CWL is doing very well for them; however due to an Aircraft shortage they are transferring the shorter routes to Air Wales with also increased route frequency on some routes.
Oh come off it - Baby is a loss making airline. No loss making (or at best marginally profitable) airline drops profitable routes, or hands them off to an ATR operator. These routes were loss making, and therefore dropped. No question about it.

Baby is lacking direction, focus and leadership. What low cost 737 carrier dampleases flights onto an ATR operation? How much time is spent worrying about these routes rather than the huge problems they must be having in EMA and BHX with all the additional competition. What low cost carrier has a 1 aircraft base?

Why on earth would BMIbaby commit suicide and go to BRS. They would have to take on U2, probably the most dominant LCC in the UK.
BMI baby was founded to compete against Go! - remember Baby was hastily launched after Go announced their arrival at fortress EMA!
