Buster ... you are quite right! Is East Midlands trying to become the first "low cost airport"? Manchester may be using the airport primarily for cargo,charter and low cost which would be a kick in the teeth for bmi british midland. I am only speculating but there wouldn't be much of an EMA if it hadn't been for the support of Midland during the years.
The MD of Manchester was recently MD of EMA and he should be careful not to be too fickle to one of his most loyal supporters!!
