Speedbird Heavy,

It would show that BMI baby are struggling to fill the 737 on these routes. However, lets say for arguments sake they are 1/2 filling the 73s many even 1/3 filling them, by changing the route to an ATR, they are changing a loss making route into a profit making route.

It would seem that people want to slate baby for making what would seem like a good business decision. After all, a nearly full ATR is much better for the books than a half full 73.

And the routes cant be that bad anyway, rumour is that there are two AT72 on order for Air Wales and that primarily these will be used for the paris route. I belive the first arrives in May?
