As previously mentioned, I haven't heard anything about bmi & bmibaby being merged together, or that WW will be operating any flights on the behalf of mainline or regional. Lots of the routes ex-LBA do very well operated by regional with pretty high yields. I can't comment on MME but I know it's high on the list of priorities for baby expansion, especially with rumours that Ryanair is interested in expanding there after its success on its flights.

We're pretty stretched for aircraft as it is, although I would love INKJET's rumour of us getting some A319s to come true, as the 733s are absolutely vile! The A319 I believe without the EasyJet-style ammendments can seat up to 142 pax, so it would be a small reduction on the current 737s. However, they seem to be economical aircraft to operate, with Germanwings our partner airline in Germany being very pleased with them!

Am still waiting to see the ammendments to the bmi uniform, I've not seen them around EMA. I always thought the bmi uniform was a rather cheap imitation of the lovely old Midland ones, so it'll be interesting to see what any new uniform will look like.
