Not really. The BMi one a gold card holder on a baby ticket gets no miles, gold card holder ona baby ticket gets no lounge access.
I would say it has moved the european routes closer to a shuttle style service. All one class, some people with Lounge access in the same cabin as people that do not have access. Only difference is all fairs are changable and you have to pay for food.
To be honest as well Business class is not worth keeping on a Emb as the only difference between that and economy is the fact that you get a different meal. Seat is exactly the same as the economy one.
